Experts Round Table: Flash Mythbusters

The Spiceworks ‘Flash Mythbusters‘ experts round table is available and online for those who missed the live event. Flash technologiests from EMC, Nimble Storage, Pure Storage and SolidFire to set aside their competitive differencees in order to debunk some of the top myths surrounding flash storage.

I find community events like this one compelling as the participants (mostly) drop pitching products in favor of deep discussions around various aspects of a technology.

According to the Spiceworks event ‘Flash Mythbusters‘ was hot – it set records for event registraiton and audience attendance. Check it out!
