We could go from the sublime to the ridiculous and
give a pair of talks. (Each listener could choose
which was sublime and which ridiculous.)
I could describe the technical aspects of EMC hardware
and software. That includes high end storage systems
capable of:
- accomodating and routing around communication
failures in a storage network
- transparently maintaining multiple copies of live
data, both local and remote
- transparently making point in time copies of live
data, again either locally or remotely
I could also provide some info about the complications
that can occur when you try to copy data that includes
live databases - there are a number of ways that you
can end up with errors or problems unless you take
special care.
