Your files are in four places and nobody knows which one is right
Joe Fay chairs a Register dinner on the file infrastructure nobody has got round to replacing, under the Chatham House Rule.
A private dinner hosted by The Register in Soho on Tuesday, October 20, brought together senior technology, infrastructure, and data leaders under the Chatham House Rule. LucidLink facilitated the discussion, which centered on the growing issue of unstructured file data and distributed teams requiring access to it. The infrastructure, still reliant on legacy NAS, VPN, and sync-and-download habits, continues to charge rent through duplicated storage, waiting, governance gaps, and the time spent determining which copy of a file is current.
The primary focus of the conversation was not the architecture diagram, but rather the workarounds that teams have quietly paid for and the lessons learned from retiring the NAS. Attendees, who were peers, engaged in a series of questions and discussions about modernizing storage and governance investments while avoiding the pitfalls of previous approaches.
The event took place at The Soho Hotel in Richmond Mews, from 6.30pm to 9.00pm, with limited seats granted on an invitation-only basis.
