Join us for an evening of talks on distributed systems, networking, food & fun!

Join us February 21 for an evening of talks around distributed systems and in-memory computing! As usual, our free meetup will include food, beverages and cool raffle prizes.

We'll be gathering in Santa Clara's famed "Building 54" (well, it's not really famous) at 3350 Scott Blvd (just off Highway 101) in the heart of Silicon Valley. Two fantastic speakers are lined up. Let's take a look....

> First speaker: Eden Kim, Chair of the SNIA Solid State Storage Technical Work Group and CEO at Calypso Systems, will present a talk titled: "Real World Workloads and In Memory Performance." Eden's discussion will compare Real World Data Center Workloads between NVMe SSD block IO and NVDIMM-N Byte Addressable load-store.

> Second speaker: Valentin "Val" Kulichenko, lead architect at GridGain Systems, will then deliver a talk titled: "Building consistent and highly available distributed systems with Apache Ignite and GridGain."

> Third speaker: Oracle TimesTen Product Manager Doug Hood's talk is titled: "Distributed SQL Tuning for TimesTen Scaleout - the fastest OLTP database"
