Why Attend LISA?

"No matter if you are dealing with the latest tech or trying to maintain something from the dark ages of the ‘90s, there are people at LISA who are experienced with it. Heck, many of the people who _developed_ this tech attend. This is a great place to get answers and ideas."

Lee Damon, University of Washington

"This was my first LISA. It was great attending a conference that focused on my role without trying to shoehorn every challenge into a specific vendor's solution. The same mix of awesome sessions, speakers, and other attendees will bring me back every year."

LISA14 Attendee

"Great sessions, great presenters, great community. I feel like I can make up a year of following news and forums on the subject in a week."

LISA14 Attendee

"I like seeing where the industry is heading, how SysAdmins/engineers are evolving, tools they are using, common problems and solutions across the world."

LISA14 Attendee

"In a world where technology changes rapidly, it's hard to find great resources for in-depth expertise. LISA has a terrific combination of people who create the technology and people who implement it effectively for their companies."

Matt Simmons, Northeastern University

"LISA is the home of ops people who do ops correctly. I’m always motivated by the conference content and hallway conversations to be better, and I take home the knowledge needed to move closer to that goal. "

Tony Del Porto, Cisco Systems, Inc.

"If you're a sysadmin slaving away in a metaphorical basement and re-inventing the wheel every time your employer's business goals change slightly, LISA will help pull you into the light."

Marc Chiarini, Long-Time IT Admin and Researcher, MarkLogic Corp

"LISA is the best mix of training, talks, and networking of any events I've been to. That's the reason I've been to 11 of them.”

The Consilience Of Networking and Computing

Invited Talk
Thursday, November 12, 2015 - 4:00pm-4:45pm

Dinesh G Dutt, Chief Scientist, Cumulus Networks

Abstract: 

Historically, networking and computing have approached similar or sometimes even the same problems very differently. Consequently, network & server admins, and network & application developers have spoken different languages and inhabited different worlds. This has led to an inability for each to leverage the solutions of the other, whether it be simple package management, configuration and monitoring or even more advanced areas. Through real-life examples, this talk will show the discrepancies, solutions that can be commonly adapted across the two worlds, and a new breed of solutions that are a result of the consilience between networking and computing.

Dinesh G Dutt, Chief Scientist, Cumulus Networks

Dinesh G Dutt is Chief Scientist at Cumulus Networks. He has been in the networking industry for the past 15 years, most of it at Cisco Systems. Most recently, he was a Fellow at Cisco Systems. He has been involved in enterprise and data center networking technologies, including the design of many of the ASICs that powered Cisco's mega-switches such as Cat6K and the Nexus family of switches. He also has experience in storage networking from his days at Andiamo Systems and in the design of FCoE. He is a co-author of TRILL and VxLAN.
