It’s that time of year. Time to head out to Las Vegas for a greatly anticipated EMC World show. I’ll be out there to present two technical sessions on disaster recovery for cloud providers and service providers. I’ll also be serving as the captain for the Cloud and Big Data kiosks within the EMC Solutions Group pavilion on the solutions floor. Don’t worry, I’ve already gotten lots of jokes thrown my way now that I have my captain title (thanks to some of our friends across the pond).
My sessions will be covering a DRaaS solution we developed for service providers and cloud providers. It’s a multi-tenant, multi-site cloud infrastructure with data protection provided by RecoverPoint, and DR orchestration provided by VMware SRM. Our engineers in Cork did a nice job building out this environment for us as well as all of our testing. It’s really a preview for a DRaaS white paper that we’ll be releasing next month so stay tuned for that. Here is a high level view of the two data center cloud environments:
Make sure you stop by to see us in the Cloud and Big Data pavilion as well. We have Dan Dunn doing his Paintjam sessions during the week (www.paintjam.com) so that should keep everyone entertained. We’ll be covering the DRaaS solution mentioned above, but will also be covering Hadoop-as-a-Service and a solution around VMAX Cloud Edition. We also have some of the guys from the OpenStack team if you want to see what EMC is doing with that as well.
If you’re going, I look forward to catching up. It will be a busy week but should be a great one.
