DataGravity Presentation: It's Your Data, You Have a Right to Know What's In It Complimentary Lunch!

PernixData Presentation by Josh Spencer: Storage bottlenecks are consistently the root cause of application performance issues in virtualized data centers. Solving this problem via traditional storage architectures can be costly, inefficient, and provide lackluster results. PernixData software puts storage intelligence into high speed server media, enabling a decoupled storage architecture that optimizes VM performance while leveraging any shared storage for capacity.
