NUGOS meetup in Klub 300

We enjoyed a relaxing day in the pleasant ambient in the bowling club Klub 300, where we discussed the new Data ONTAP 8.3 technology, with the help and the company of our trusty NetApp disk system administrators. The version is improved with new functions, that make migrations of existing systems (NetApp, as well as rival systems) easier, with the help of Scale-Out solution technology Clustered ONTAP. CBT (Copy-Based Transition), CFT (Copy-Free Transition) and FLI (Foreign LUN import) are all processes that lead to the same result – migrating data on the Scale-out platform, which enables easier updates and expandability. To prove out point, that these processes are really easily manageable, we showed a live and real-time data migration from a 7-mode system to cDOT and with the most elegant of all the mentioned solutions - Foreign LUN import. Every step was carefully explained and debated about with all of the attendees. Thus many participants saw added value in this process and were eager to try it out for themselves in their business environments. And because we were all a bit bored of daily watching and staring into computer monitors, we were very glad to have a recreational part of the meeting and bowled for about 2 hours and improved our health with fun. Arnold Schwarzenegger once said: » Power doesn't come from winning, it develops with training. Only when you overcome strains and don't give up – then you really improve. « The bowling competition was really good and even reached some top-leaderboard points that would have been even a serious threat to professional bowlers. And as Schwarzy also said: » I'll be back.« And so will we – even before the beginning of summer with new presentations and adventures. Presentation content (SLO):
