7:20 ZFS: The Last Word in Filesystems
Presented by Todd Underwood,
VP of Operations and Professional Services, Renesys Corporation
ZFS is the most original work in storage management in years. It
offers a revolutionary, integrated approach to block device,
raid, volume management and filesystem technology. We'll take a
high-level look at what makes ZFS so different from previous
storage technologies and look at efforts to port ZFS to free
operating systems (ZFS is available for FreeBSD and in a
userland port to Linux, but the path will not be easy).
Todd has with more than 10 years experience in architecting,
building, and supporting large-scale distributed systems. Before
Renesys, Todd was senior vice president and chief technology
officer at Oso Grande Technologies, the largest Internet service
provider in New Mexico, where he was the lead consultant in the
security practice. Before that, Todd was chief technology
officer at Lightdart Managed Data Centers, a co-location and
hosting start-up built in partnership with Public Service
Company of New Mexico. As a graduate student, Todd led the
effort studying high-speed networking for large-scale computer
clusters at the University of New Mexico. Todd holds a B.A. from
Columbia College, Columbia University and an M.S. in computer
science from the University of New Mexico.
