The Linux Foundation is launching a new conference, Vault, to bring together the world’s leading developers in filesystems and storage in the Linux kernel with related projects to collaborate on continued innovation and education in this important space. Founding supporters of Vault include Facebook, IBM, NetApp, Omnibond, Red Hat, SanDisk, Seagate, and SUSE. The conference will take place March 11-12, 2015, at the Revere Hotel in Boston, MA and will be co-located with the invite-only and exclusive Linux Storage, Filesystem and Memory Management Summit.
“90% of the world's data has been created in the last few years and most of that data is being stored and accessed via a Linux-based system,” said Linux Foundation Chief Marketing Officer Amanda McPherson. “Now is the ideal time to bring the open source community together in this new forum, Vault, to collaborate on new methods of improving capacity, efficiency and security to manage the huge data volumes envisioned in the coming years. By bringing together the leading minds of Linux file systems and storage and our members who are pushing the limits of what is possible, Vault should expand the state of the art in Linux."
