NIshan and BRCD go at it at that NGN conference next wk.... bcr.com Storage Networking Technologies Moderator: Scott Bradner, Senior Technical Consultant, Harvard University Storage networking has come of age. A new breed of service provider is beginning to offer hosted online storage. Typical applications include remote backup and disaster recovery, overflow capacity for temporary or seasonal data storage, and IT outsourcing. Likely subscribers are organizations that require large amounts of highly accessible storage, including Internet-centric startups, oil and gas exploration companies, financial services firms, and the entertainment industry. This session focuses on the latest storage networking technology, as well as when, where and by whom it is being deployed. Questions: What innovations mark the next generation in this field? Are leading equipment vendors primarily targeting new storage service providers or enterprise customers? What is the status of standards to govern handling huge volumes of storage data online? How do developments in storage networking intersect with trends in metro optical networking? Some customers with massive investments in their website have already migrated their storage to the Net. Which customers will make the move next? What do users need to know to make the decision on where their own storage networking belongs? What is the difference between storage networking for hosted on-line services and the storage area networks we hear so much about? Speakers: Randy Fardal, VP Marketing, Nishan Systems Jay Kidd, VP Product Marketing, BROCADE Communications Systems, Inc Mike Tardif, Senior VP Engineering & Strategy, StorageNetworks, Inc. 4:30pm–5:45pm An interesting conference and a whole world of companies I never heard of are there.
