LinuxCon Japan 2012 | Linux Powered Storage: Building a Storage Server with Linux

Many proprietary storage appliances are built today using the Linux storage stack and open source foundations. This presentation will give an outline of best practices in putting together a Linux storage appliance for NAS and SAN clients and outline ongoing work in the open source community. We will also discuss some of the key problems that remain for building storage appliances.
