Presentation:
The new Datacenter Architecture. N1, promises to turn an entire IT infrastructure into a single management entity, which is auto-optimized, intrinsically resilient, ensuring guaranteed QOS, delivering in excess of 5-nines, driving aggregate resource utilization back to traditional levels of 80+%, empowering Utility Model computing, fulfilling a Soft Cabling deployment strategy, and dramatically lowering TCO.
Sound too good to be true? It isn't. Come and learn why. Dave Brillhart is one of Sun's Datacenter Architects, focusing on the Highly Available and Highly Utilized IT infrastructure. Dave helps customers understand the design choices available to build a Service Delivery Platform that will achieve specific goals. He has been with Sun for over 7 years in various technical pre-sales roles, starting out as an Account SE, a Regional Java ACE, a Storage Specialist, a High-end Server Specialist, and most recently focusing on Clustering technologies. The Sun user community in Richmond is growing, and you are an important part of it!
