I have mix impression about this speaker. Kind of hard to understand which question he is answering when he doesn't read the question out loud.

You have to give him some leeway, English is not his first language, obviously. He's doing a great job.

I understand. I don't mind the accent, but trying to decipher the question from the answer is kind of confusing.
Although he does read out some questions.

ok, TBH if you get self-supported cmd-line only stuff, why can't you do this with glusterfs+targetcli on centos with xfs?!
IMHO this is just a windows shop vs linux shop stuff! Not I'm saying this is a bad thing! no it is great, just wondering about comparisons... and this seems a lot of centos+gluster+LVM(+libvirt if you hyperconverge)

Starwind is coming on Linux, too. Some releases already out. Also, Gluster isn't really built for that, Starwind is a lot more performant.

also I've discovered starwind can do async, which is important if your dr stuff is not on par with your production stuff perf-wise.

now. I'm on.

StarWind has got it going on! They've been doing this stuff before Microsoft finally got around to implementing some of it... such as S2D and other Datacenter features.

Anyone get ahold of all the slides? I missed it... was super busy at work today.

This is awesome to finally have out and official. We've been talking about it for weeks but haven't had an announcement to point to.

@kooler we should celebrate! Let's do drinks. In say... 50 hours?

yes, we'll do that! what about some nice Sicilian place around here? (LOL, at least you'll tell how local ones suck compared to italy)

P.S. Max is in game

There were only the two slides that were shown here other than the title and finished slides. It was all PowerShell demo.
