Explore 15 years of hard-won lessons from enterprise data mobility in this 47-minute conference talk that reveals the harsh realities behind seemingly simple data migration, replication, and archival projects. Discover why "just copying data" represents one of the most misunderstood challenges in modern infrastructure as you navigate through real-world technical obstacles that consistently derail storage projects, including filename encoding issues, unreadable or garbled data, metadata problems, incompatible or underdocumented protocols, inconsistent timestamp precision, size and scale limitations, illegal path names, incompatible retention mechanisms, performance problems, and persistent bugs. Learn how to design software that maintains compatibility across broad ranges of storage systems while avoiding user pain and building resilience into your code if you're an application developer. Understand how to create backends that operate seamlessly in multi-vendor environments, support diverse use cases, and anticipate real-world client behavior quirks if you're a storage system engineer. Master techniques for future-proofing your storage environment and preventing vendor lock-in if you're a storage administrator. Navigate the complexities of NFS, SMB, and S3 protocols while gaining practical insights from the trenches of enterprise data mobility that will help you avoid common pitfalls and build more robust storage solutions.
