In June we will explore Hyper-convergence with Maxta co-sponsoring the meetup. Hyper-convergence is the process of melding together previously disparate data center resources. It provides the ability to run applications, virtualization, and storage on industry standard servers and provides significant benefits by streamlining infrastructure procurement, deployment and management.

Maxta has developed integration points with OpenStack to simplify administration. Maxta storage can be managed through the Horizon user interface with Maxta storage integrated through native OpenStack Nova compute and Cinder storage plugins. The Maxta drivers enable OpenStack environments to take advantage of the advanced feature set Maxta provides, including fast snapshots and local block volumes.

Our lead speaker is Arjun Narang, Technical Marketing Engineer. Arjun utilizes engineering and marketing knowledge to implement the Maxta hyper-converged solution in deployments that support the varied technical demands of customer environments. He joined Maxta in 2014 after spending 4 years at VMware as a Quality Engineer, where he worked on automation and testing of several products for the vCloud Suite Interoperability team. Before joining VMware, he completed a double major in Computer Science & Engineering and Economics at UCLA in 2010.

Reminders:

• A light dinner and soft drinks will be provided ~ 6:30pm courtesy of Maxta, and we will kick off the sessions ~ 7:00pm.

• If you are interested in giving a Lightening Talk shoot us a note with a topic or just come to the session ready to speak!

• DON'T FORGET - for security reasons, the NERD center requires atendees to show a government issued photo ID in order to gain access into the building.
