Software-Defined Storage in Review with Datera CTO Hal Woods Podcast
In the first episode, Chris, Martin and Hal discuss storage deployment models in the enterprise and where software-defined storage fits into an overall infrastructure strategy.

Datera 101 with Datera CTO Hal Woods Podcast
Hal has worked on almost 30 different SDS architectures throughout his career. He knows SDS inside and out, as well as what works and doesn’t work for Fortune 1000 companies.
