Every conference seems to highlight storage now...
As the Demand for Data Storage Solutions Increases, NetWorld+Interop Brings Industry Leaders Together to Discuss Effective Corporate Storage Strategies
LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 17, 2001--Key3Media Group, Inc. (NYSE:KME - news) today announced that NetWorld+Interop 2001 Las Vegas will highlight the growing importance of networked storage as leading educators and vendors showcase strategic solutions. The latest technologies, vendor solutions and the current state of industry standards will be presented to industry professionals at NetWorld+Interop, the definitive networking, Internet and telecommunications event, taking place May 6-11, 2001 at the Las Vegas Convention Center. Recognized leaders in the storage industry, including Adaptec, ADIC, Brocade, DataCore, DLTtape, EMC, Emulex Corporation, Exabyte Corporation, Legato, Network Appliance, Quantum ATL, Shomiti Systems, Inc., StorageTek and VERITAS Software, as well as industry organizations including the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) and the Fibre Channel Industry Association (FCIA), are scheduled to gather at NetWorld+Interop 2001 Las Vegas. The FCIA Solutions Pavilion, located in booth number 2955, will allow attendees to see a Storage Area Network (SAN) in operation.
With the volume of data storage becoming increasingly significant, new storage solutions have emerged, including SANs and Network Attached Storage (NAS). These technologies are helping IT managers solve their data storage needs - but at what cost? The Interop Conference Networked Storage Track, chaired by Anne Skamarock, senior analyst for Enterprise Management Associates, has assembled a program to present attendees with a clear understanding of the current issues, as well as the benefits and risks associated with employing a networked storage solution. Taking place on Wednesday, May 9, 2001, scheduled sessions for this track include the following:
-- Planning for Networked Storage: Presents a storage solution
deployment plan, including assessment and evaluation of needs,
performance, impact and management
-- Security and Networked Storage: Dissects the security issues and
strategies for business information protection
-- Managing Your Networked Storage: Various ways to approach
management of a storage network and emerging products in the space
will be the focus of this session
-- Real-Life Experiences with Networked Storage: Provides insight
into the do's and don'ts of implementing and operation networked
storage
``The importance of storage is increasing every day,'' said Anne Skamarock, senior analyst, Enterprise Management Associates and conference track chairperson. ``Without new, emerging technologies, such as SANs and NAS, the management of stored data threatens to overwhelm the entire IT infrastructure. We look forward to presenting NetWorld+Interop's audience with focused, fundamental education on the advantages of employing strategic storage solutions.''
``NetWorld+Interop attendees will be the ones who will drive the adoption of networked storage solutions,'' said Leonard Heymann, vice president of content, NetWorld+Interop. ``They are hungry for information about technology, strategies and products. With their deep involvement and experience in the storage marketplace, EMA is the perfect partner to help us deliver the cutting-edge education our attendees expect from us.''
