What people say about their file infrastructure once the badge comes off
Joe Fay chairs a Register dinner in Soho on 20 October where infrastructure leaders compare notes on the file estate they inherited, off the record.
Admitting the truth about their file infrastructure can be difficult for senior infrastructure professionals, as it often involves a VPN that was meant to be temporary and a NAS that has outlived multiple migration plans. This frank perspective is the focus of a Soho dinner event on Tuesday, October 20, chaired by Joe Fay of The Register and attended by LucidLink VP for EMEA, Rupert Watson.
The gathering follows the Chatham House Rule, meaning attendees' identities remain confidential, but the insights shared are valuable. The evening aims to uncover the reality behind many file infrastructure stories, which usually end up dealing with governance and security. Attendees discuss how to manage unstructured data spread across offices and home connections, the current setup's resilience against threats, and the costs and performance issues associated with duplicated storage.
Ultimately, the evening aims to address the practical needs of those simply seeking the appropriate file system. The event begins with drinks at 6:30 pm at The Soho Hotel, followed by dinner, and concludes at 9 pm. Places are limited and granted by invitation only; interested parties are encouraged to request a spot.
