Notes
1. This Meeting WILL NOT BE RECORDED

Summary
Ever been confused about the difference between IOPS and throughput? Why
the pundits are saying "RAID5 is dead"? Or how various RAID topologies
work? Come to the TriLUG meeting August 9th, and Jim Salter will cover
performance, redundancy, and storage efficiency for all sorts of storage
topologies, along with how you'd measure them and why you'd care. We'll
start out simple with a single disk, then move onwards and upwards through
traditional RAID configurations, and then move on to ZFS and btrfs. Wear
your nerd hat, and if you have questions, be ready to ask 'em.


Bio.
Jim Salter (@jrssnet) is an author, mercenary sysadmin, and father of
three—not necessarily in that order. He got his first real taste of open
source by running Apache on his very own dedicated FreeBSD 3.1 server back
in 1999, and he’s been a fierce advocate of FOSS ever since. He’s the
author of the Sanoid hyperconverged infrastructure project. He writes for
Ars Technica on everything from NAS distribution tools to next-gen
filesystems to Wi-Fi, and reviews Wi-Fi mesh, routers, and other devices
for the Wirecutter.
