Abstract: The last few years has seen tremendous disruptions in the way data
is backed up and protected.  In this talk, we will discuss the changes
underway in the data protection space, focusing on the enabling
technologies.  In particular, we will consider data deduplication techniques
and advanced methods for ensuring data integrity, both of which are
necessary to replace tape with disk.  With a confluence of technology and
industry trends, the next few years promises to be even more disruptive.  We
will outline our vision of where data protection is headed and some of the
challenges involved.

Bio: Windsor Hsu is the Chief Technology Officer of Data Domain and is also
responsible for research and advanced development for the Backup Recovery
Systems (BRS) Division of EMC. He is an EMC Distinguished Engineer.  Windsor
joined EMC through the acquisition of Data Domain in 2009.  He drove the
expansion of Data Domain from being focused primarily on disk-based backup
to also encompass information archival. He developed new archiving and
compliance features for the Data Domain product line, extending its
architecture and creating the first storage system optimized for both backup
and archival use cases.  Before joining Data Domain, Windsor was an IBM
Master Inventor at the IBM Almaden Research Center where he led and managed
research and technology transfer, specializing in database performance,
storage systems, and intelligent information archival.  Windsor holds a B.S.
degree in electrical engineering and computer sciences, and M.S. and Ph.D.
degrees in computer science, all from the University of California at
Berkeley.
