SUMMARY:Spectrum Scale (GPFS) User Group main UK meeting
DESCRIPTION:UK May 2017 User Group: Registration\n\n \n\nWe’re flattered that we’ve seen some advertising us as the Global Spectrum Scale user group event\, and its great that we’re doing well. This year’s event will be bigger than ever with space for up to 200 attendees\, we’ve had to move out of IBM Client Centre in South Bank and are heading north to Manchester! \nThe UK Spring user group will take place over two days on 9th and 10th May 2017 at the Macdonald Manchester Hotel\, Manchester. We’d like to thank IBM and our sponsors for supporting the event and the evening networking/social event on the evening of 9th May 2017. \nAs usual\, we will have a packed agenda with speakers from the IBM development teams\, user talks as well as technical talks from our sponsors. \nThe hotel where the event is taking place has reserved a limited number of rooms for the night before the event (8th May) and the night of the event (9th May). The rates are £115 B&B and £145 B&B per room per night respectively and if anyone wishes to book they can call the hotel 0344 879 9088 and quote code OCFP090517 to benefit from these rates. Please ensure you have confirmed your ticket via the registration page before booking your hotel room. \nThe agenda for the day is a bit further down the page and we are looking for users to do a short presentation on their use of Spectrum Scale/GPFS. Please contact us if you’d like to volunteer. These are often the most valuable talks of the event so please don’t be shy! \nSponsors\nWe’d very much like to thank the following sponsors for supporting the user group meeting by providing funding to support the evening social event: \n\n\n\nArcaStream\n\nDDN\n\n\n\nEllexus\n\nLenovo\n\n\n\nIBM\n\nMellanox\n\n\n\nOCF\n\nSeagate\n\n\n\n\n\nMedia Sponsor:\n \nAgenda\nDay 1 – 9th May 2017\n\n\n\n09:00 – 10:00\nRegistration & Networking\n\n\n10:00 – 10:30\nOpening & Welcome – Simon Thompson (UG)\, Michael Daubman (IBM)\n\n\n10:30 – 11:20\nSpectrum Scale Update – Ulf Troppens (IBM)\n\n\n11:20 – 11:40\nESS Update – Christopher Maestas (IBM)\n\n\n11:40 – 12:00\nSponsor Talk 1 – Ellexus: Catching rogue jobs before they overload shared storage: an I/O profiling case study – Dr. Rosemary Francis\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00\nLunch & Networking\n\n\n13:00 – 13:20\nCustomer Talk – “The UK Research Data Facility” – Kieran Leach (EPCC)\n\n\n13:20 – 13:40\nSponsor Talk 2 – DDN: AFM Case Studies – Vic Cornell\n\n\n13:40 – 14:30\nSpectrum Scale Cloud Deployments – Christopher Maestas (IBM)\n\n\n14:30 – 14:50\nLicensing – Carl Zetie (IBM)\n\n\n14:50 – 15:20\nCoffee and Networking\n\n\n15:20 – 15:40\nSponsor Talk 3 – Arcastream: Automated Data Curation and Discovery with Spectrum Scale and ArcaStream – Jez Tucker & Barry Evans\n\n\n15:40 – 16:30\nProblem Determination – Simon Lorenz (IBM)\n\n\n16:30 – 17:20\nBest Practices – Olaf Weiser (IBM)\n\n\n17:50 – 18:00\nWrap up\n\n\n18:00\nFinish\n\n\n19:00\nEvening Social Event\, drinks and food – Manchester Museum of Science and Industry\n\n\n\nDay 2 – 10th May 2017\n\n\n\n08:30 – 09:00\nCoffee and Networking\n\n\n09:00 – 10:00\nParallel Breakout/workshop session 1 \n\nIntegration with Spectrum Protect for Backup – Fabian Kulhl (IBM)\nDocker Support / Update on metadata sizing – Olaf Weiser (IBM)\, Indulis Bernsteins (IBM)\nCES Authentication / Spectrum Scale Security (Meet the Devs) – Sandeep Ramesh (IBM)\n\n\n\n\n10:00 – 11:00\nParallel Breakout/workshop session 2 \n\nIntroduction to AFM and Use Cases – Nils Haustein (IBM)\nObject\, SwiftHLM and OpenStack (cloud) – Sandeep Ramesh (IBM)\, Simon Lorenz (IBM)\nGUI and REST API (Meet the Devs) – Alexander Wolf (IBM)\n\n\n\n\n11:00 – 12:00\nParallel Breakout/workshop session 3 \n\nAutomation of Storage Services – Nils Haustein (IBM)\nContainer and Virtualisation support (Cloud) – John Lewars (IBM)\nHDFS Support (Meet the Devs) – Piyush Chaudrhary (IBM)\n\n\n\n\n12:00 – 13:00\nLunch & Networking\n\n\n13:00 – 13:20\nSponsor Talk 4 – Mellanox: RoCE and Spectrum Scale – RDMA support and performance over Ethernet – Darren Harkins\n\n\n13:20 – 13:40\nCustomer Talk – AFM Migration – The road to perdition – Mark Roberts (AWE) & Laurence Horrocks-Barlow (OCF)\n\n\n13:40 – 14:00\nSponsor Talk 5 – Seagate: Accelerating Spectrum Scale with an Intelligent IO Manager – Ray Coetzee\n\n\n14:00 – 14:20\nCustomer Talk – TBC\n\n\n14:20 – 14:50\nCoffee and Networking\n\n\n14:50 – 16:00\nResearch Topics – Sven Oehme (IBM)\n\n\n16:00 – 16:30\nWrap-up and feedback – Simon Thompson (UG)\, Michael Daubman (IBM)\n\n\n16:30\nFinish\n\n\n\nRegistration\nTo register for this year’s event\, please use our EventBrite event page at:\nhttps://www.eventbrite.com/e/spectrum-scalegpfs-user-group-spring-2017-tickets-32113696932 \nRegistration is now open. \nPlease note that we are currently limiting registrations to 3 per organisation to ensure as many organisations as possible are able to attend and places are strictly limited due to room capacity.
