In this weeks Christmas Cracker, Nigel and Rick are joined by Dr Garth Gibson, a true legend of the computing world!
Dr Gibson is best known as one of the co-inventors of RAID technology – a technology known to all in the computing industry and still an key foundational technology of the modern computing world. Among many other contributions to the industry, Garth is the founder and CTO of Panasas, a leading high performance parallel storage company. And now, he can add to his already impressive resume that he has been a guest on Infosmack!
During the show the following topics were covered -
Future of RAID
What the “I” in RAID stands for
Future of Solid State Storage
Future of magnetic recording media
Sub-LUN Tiering
Commodity HW with smarts in Software
The rise of less and less reliable technology
Parallel NFS (pNFS)
Panasas
Technology predictions for 2012
Tons of other cool stuff
We recommend that listeners buckle themselves up before listening to this show as Dr Gibson has a brain the size of a planet and Nigel and Rick attempted to raid his brain (pun intended) in under an hour!
Nigel and Rick would like to thank Garth for not embarrassing them with his clearly superior knowledge and brain power.
