Joe Fay chairs a Register dinner in New York on the file infrastructure nobody has got around to replacing, with nothing on the record.
Joe Fay takes the chair, it runs under the Chatham House Rule, and nothing said leaves the table.
The conversation worth having about that is not the architecture diagram.
What broke when they tried to retire the NAS, and what they would do differently now.

How
Headline check
The one thing this headline claims did not turn up in the report.
“Midtown” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.
Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. How this is checked
The article, shortened and in plain language
Joe Fay chairs a Register dinner in New York on the file infrastructure nobody has got around to replacing, with nothing on the record.
EVENT: The Register is hosting a private dinner in New York on Tuesday 27 October for senior technology, infrastructure and data leaders, with LucidLink. Joe Fay takes the chair, it runs under the Chatham House Rule, and nothing said leaves the table.
Distributed teams are producing more unstructured file data than ever, and most of them reach it through infrastructure designed for an office: legacy NAS, a VPN, and a sync-and-download habit nobody chose.
The conversation worth having about that is not the architecture diagram. Which workaround somebody has quietly been paying for ever since. What broke when they tried to retire the NAS, and what they would do differently now.
Everyone there as a peer, and a chair whose job includes stopping anyone who starts to pitch.

of reading, this version reads 8.7 on the Niral Score.
You are reading our version, not theirs.
This is The Register's report shortened to its most important sentences, in plainer words, with
verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives
that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations
are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure
this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
