Six Event Activities Led by Viking Enterprise Solutions Experts
Viking Enterprise Solutions leaders will lead three main sessions that include:

• Optimizing Hyper-Converged Infrastructures for NVMe-Based Flash Storage, Hyperconverged Infrastructure Applications Track, HYPER-201B-1, August 7, 9:45 a.m. PT. The optimal choice for hyper-converged infrastructure has changed as NVMe and NVMe-oF become the most common flash storage connections.
