+Title:
+
+SMB3 in Samba - Multi-Channel and beyond
+
+Abstract:
+
+The implementation of SMB3 is a broad and important set of topics on the Samba
+roadmap. After a longer period of preparations, the first and the most generally
+useful of the advanced SMB3 features has recently arrived in Samba:
+Multi-Channel. This presentation will explain Samba's implementation of
+Multi-Channel, especially covering the challenges that had to be solved for
+integration with Samba's traditional clustering with CTDB, which is invisible to
+the SMB clients and hence quite different from the clustering built into SMB3.
+Afterwards an outlook will be given on other areas of active development like
+persistent file handles, RDMA, and scale-out SMB clustering, reporting on status
+and challenges.
+
+Bio:
+
+Michael is one of the main developers of Samba (www.samba.org), specializing on
+file serving and clustering. He is an architect and the manager of Red Hat
+Storage Server's SMB team.
