Storage Developer Conference Podcast Series

Every week the Storage Developer Conference (SDC) podcast series presents important technical topics to the Storage Developer community. Each episode is hand-selected by the SNIA Technical Council from the presentations at SDC.

This week’s highlighted Podcast: #196: Direct Drive - Azure's Next-generation Block Storage Architecture by Greg Kramer, Partner Software Engineer, Microsoft  (MP3, Video, PDF of Slides)

Azure Disks provide block storage for Azure Virtual Machines and are a core pillar of the Azure IaaS platform. In this talk, we will provide an overview of Direct Drive - Azure's next-generation block storage architecture. Direct Drive forms the foundation for a new family of Azure disk offerings, starting with Ultra Disk (Azure's highest performance disks). We will describe the challenges of providing durable, highly-available, high-performance disks at cloud scale as well as the software and hardware innovations that allow us to overcome these challenges.

The Podcast can be downloaded on iTunes.
