Recording is <A href="https://splunk.webex.com/splunk/lsr.php?RCID=44b576a90ab9f73fb5c3b6c85df8c0e3">here</A> and slides are <A href="http://wiki.splunk.com/images/d/d3/Architecting_Splunk_for_Epic_Performance_at_Blizzard_Entertainment.pdf">here</A>.</P> <P>If you're going to .conf, he's currently scheduled to deliver that talk on Tuesday of .conf, so you may be interested in seeing it and getting the opportunity to ask him questions above/beyond the recording. (And he would likely answer, so long as he is able to answer)</P> Mon, 05 Sep 2016 19:43:08 GMT https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-6-4x-and-SSD-Solid-State-indexers/m-p/258536#M49652 acharlieh 2016-09-05T19:43:08Z https://community.splunk.com/t5/Getting-Data-In/Splunk-6-4x-and-SSD-Solid-State-indexers/m-p/258537#M49653 <P>Thanks mate.
