Sitting back in my FC seats waitng for Oct-Dec. SAN season of news releases. Will be some surprises I think...............here's something that may come to your hometown. Playing Oct-Dec. Please go if you can and file a report....... nwfusion.com October 6, 1999 Boston, MA Sheraton Boston Hotel October 7, 1999 New York, NY Marriott Financial Center October 20, 1999 Chicago, IL Rosemont Convention Center October 21, 1999 Washington, DC Hyatt Regency Bethesda November 10, 1999 Atlanta, GA Grand Hyatt November 11, 1999 Dallas, TX The Fairmont Hotel December 1, 1999 Los Angeles, CA Downtown L.A. Marriott December 2, 1999 San Francisco, CA Sheraton Palace Hotel HDS, HWP EMC etc will be there, but the BIG sponsor is SONY! We don't talk about Sony-FC much. Join storage guru David Hill, Senior Analyst, Storage and Storage Management from the Aberdeen Group, and Network World Executive Editor of News Doug Barney as they discuss why storage has become so complicated, and how you can become a storage hero by getting it all under control. Leading storage vendors will explain exactly how they propose to handle your ever-increasing storage needs - whether through network attached storage, which ties storage to special file servers that ship files off to end users, or the wild new world of storage area networking where multiple servers connect to multiple storage systems. FC-SANs are everywhere you turn now..... Back to SONY- Why will they need a large SAN? A.Sony has access to the movie catalog of Columbia TriStar Pictures and its television division, and also markets both video games like PlayStation and recorded music. Cablevision operates the American Movie Classics and Bravo cable networks, as well as Madison Square Garden network and owns the New York Rangers hockey team and basketball's New York Knicks. ``For Sony, we see this as another critical step in our strategy to marry the power of our electronics and technology assets with our vast entertainment holdings to create a compelling 21st century lifestyle experience,' Stringer said.
