Toronto - Storage Networking Conference and Symposium

The purpose of the Hands-on Lab project is to develop, through structured process, a working, multi-vendor, end-to-end storage ecosystem. It is the most exciting event in the history of the SAN/NAS summits. Parts include: several UNIX flavors, and Windows (including VM implementation); many switches, storage devices and storage software, to be named. We will link and use them all together during the lab. We will then test the limits of interoperability. Participants will be guided by structured process and lab assistants.

Lab sessions include:

Zero-to-SAN in 60 minutes, Fibre Channel
Zero-to-SAN in 60 minutes, iSCSI
SAN Integration and Interoperability (Fibre Channel and iSCSI)
Recovery and Archive
eDiscovery

Only guests of the show can participate in lab construction and tasks. Guests must sign-up through the SAN/NAS website at registration. Preferences will be solicited two weeks before each event. We will attempt to honor preference first for early registrants and during the solicitation on a first come, first served basis; there will be some post registration screening.
