VMUG is an independent, customer-led organization created to maximize members' use of VMware's solutions through knowledge sharing, training, collaboration, and events.  VMUG now has more than 75,000 individual members, an active online community and more than 180 local chapters around the world. Meetings of the Chicago VMUG provide those in the Greater Chicago area with an opportunity to share experiences, best practices and expertise.

In "Tomorrow's Storage…Today" Donehoo and Rodriguez will discuss the evolution of cloud storage as a component for enterprise storage and show how this new model enables previously unthinkable capabilities. Donehoo will detail how Segal now operates a centrally-managed and globally-distributed storage infrastructure that provides file access to the firm's offices across the country at local speeds.

The presentation will also include a question and answer period to discuss the many issues shaping how IT leaders manage their storage infrastructure, including new approaches to data integrity and consistency, encryption and key management, and mobile access. 

Details include:

"The cloud is the new hard drive, one with the potential to dramatically compliment and strengthen existing infrastructure while providing safeguards and performance unthinkable just a few short years ago," said Rodriguez.  "Progressive IT leaders like Matt Donehoo are setting the standard for how enterprises harness those capabilities, redefining the costs and benefits associated with storage for distributed organizations."

In addition to "Tomorrow's Storage…Today" the Nov. 15 Chicago VMUG meeting will also include the following sessions, along with a networking lunch and "Ask the Experts" panel.
