ACM Weekly Events Digest 1/16 – 1/20
Delphix tech talk; 6-7pm 1/17; EEB 125
The computer industry is focused on building cloud services. From infrastructure (IaaS), platforms (PaaS), and applications (SaaS), the major architectural components are turning into cloud facilities. Data, however, remains an unvirtualized anchor. Delphix is bringing that last major component to the cloud. Come hear about the technology that the team at Delphix is building from Adam Leventhal, Delphix Architect and one of the inventors of DTrace. There will be a particular focus on ZFS — the filesystem at the heart of the Delphix.
