Carlos Rolo - Consultant @ Pythian Group - The Evolution of Cassandra
Cassandra is a Distributed massively scalable database. But it didn't come from nowhere. I will talk how Cassandra pick-up on already tested and proven concepts like Amazon Dynamo, Google BigTable, Distributed Hash Table and others to power itself and deliver an amazing set of features. I will also go through the basic usage of Cassandra and how it fits in the current evolving software landscape.

Mark Coleman - Storage architectures then and now
I've never worked as a full-on ops guy, but I recently needed to write about storage architectures and how they have changed over the years... a challenge that was way more difficult than I thought it would be.... mainly because around each technological shift there are so many opposing voices that it's hard to know who to listen to and in what order things happened.
I'll tell you how I think storage architectures have evolved, and you can tell me where I'm wrong!
