Enterprise Class Storage:  Making the Move to Consumers

Dr. Geoff Barrall, CEO and Co-Founder, Data Robotics, Inc.

Data storage is quickly becoming a concern for consumers who historically never had to plan their data storage needs. People are amassing a large number of external USB drives to store and protect their personal digital assets and digital enthusiasts realize that this approach is cumbersome and unsafe for storing important data. For decades, the only solution for a consumer was management-intensive technology built for the enterprise- RAID.  Not any more.  Innovations based on automation and virtualization is simplifying storage solutions. Consumers now have intuitive, affordable and safe storage options that rival enterprise level protection without the management complexity.  

As a result of participating in this session, attendees will be able to:

• Assess the importance of simply and safely storing digital assets
  
• Develop a richer understanding of consumer storage solutions
  
• Develop a checklist for how to implement consumer storage solutions within their own environment
