Software-defined Storage (SDS) is changing the traditional way we think of storage. Decoupling software from hardware allows you to choose your hardware vendors and provides enterprises with more flexibility.
Attend mountpoint on August 27 - 28, 2018 in Vancouver, BC, before Open Source Summit North America for this first time event. We are joining forces with the Ceph and Gluster communities, SDS experts, and partners to bring to you an exciting 2 day event. Help lead the conversation on open source software defined storage and share your knowledge!
- Learn about the latest trends in SDS and open source technologies
- Talk with leading experts to learn how to start, implement and scale your SDS environment
- Network with peers on best practices and case studies
- Hear from other community members and contributors on what workloads they are using for SDS
- Learn how to overcome the pitfalls of SDS
- Gain a competitive advantage by learning about the latest trends of SDS
Our call for proposals is open! Our CPF closes on June 15, 2018. We'll announce a schedule in late June.
