NAS Industry Conference '05
were a lot of good talks from various vendors, all of these should be available later this week on the nasconf website. Some of the talks I liked included the EMC Keynote and the Filebench talk by Eric. The EMC Keynote on "Global File Virtualization" gave a very good overview of the various components needed in order to provide file virtualization and what standards based technologies (pNFS, NFSv4 referrals, CIFS) can be pieced together to provide such a solution. Eric, whose a pretty entertaining speaker, talked about the use of a new filesystem benchmarking tool, Filebench, and how that can be used to determine performance bottlenecks in NFSv4. Other talks from Sun included the ACLs tutorial by Sam and Lisa, Filebench tutorial by Richard Mcdougall, Observability talk by Bill Baker and IETF NFSv4 Minor Version Update by Spencer. And, oh yeah, yours truly gave a talk on Checksums for NFSv4 (yeah they solve a real purpose because the TCP checksum *is* very weak  ) as
well. Incase the pdf version on the conference website renders screwy, here's a staroffice version that should work. Overall, it was a good conference. And, thank you Audrey for doing such a good job of organizing this once more.
