DESCRIPTION:SCARLET SCHWIDERSKI-GROSCHE (MICROSOFT RESEARCH CAMBRIDGE\, UK
 )\n\nBio : Dr. Scarlet Schwiderski-Grosche is a Director at Microsoft Rese
 arch Cambridge. She drives strategic research partnerships with academic i
 nstitutions in EMEA\, including the Swiss Joint Research Center with EPF
 L and ETH Zurich and the Inria Joint Center. Moreover\, Scarlet leads aca
 demic outreach around optical storage and networking for Microsoft Optics
  for the Cloud. Scarlet has ten years’ experience driving collaborations
  with academia and industry around cutting-edge and highly interdisciplina
 ry research projects and has managed a multitude of academic programs incl
 uding the EMEA PhD Scholarship Programme and the EMEA PhD Summer School
 s.\nNew hardware technology such as rack-scale computers (RSCs) are redefi
 ning the landscape of data center computing today\, achieving both higher 
 bandwidth and lower latency. As a basic building block of a redesigned sta
 ck of hardware\, OS\, storage and network\, such infrastructure is increas
 ingly suitable for HPC workloads. However\, most of today’s data center 
 technology was designed or conceived in the era before the cloud existed. 
 Many of the technologies represent compromises\, encumbered by legacy thin
 king. At Microsoft Research Cambridge\, we are exploring optical technolog
 ies across the three primary resources\, networking\, storage\, and comput
 e.\nIn this talk\, we will outline the future challenges in the data cente
 r and discuss the limitations of current technology. We will take a holist
 ic end-to-end view of the needs of the cloud and present our work on optic
 al networking and storage.
