Dude, Where’s My Data? Replicating and Migrating Data Across Data Centers and Clouds

Authors:

Abstract:

Large enterprises have long needed to deal with the problem of copying or migrating data between sites. This problem becomes more acute when those enterprises try to move work to/from public clouds, to avoid having computation arrive in the cloud with no data on which to work. This talk will cover methods for managing data location, including various tradeoffs of efficiency, consistency, and user-friendliness.
