Benefits of Disaggregating Compute and Storage

Reid Moncrief is going to talk about managing and analyzing data in the new paradigm where your data sits at rest and you spin up compute resources as needed.

Prior to Pure Storage i worked at YRC Freight for a decade which i was a storage administrator for several years, then moved into a management role that covered mainframe/disaster recovery/storage/data center/etc.
