I will reprise this presentation next Wednesday (October 21) in Columbus, OH within the excellent confines of TechColumbus. This is a free lunch-time event (sponsored by Nirvanix) and all are welcome to attend. Please register if you plan to attend so we can plan lunch numbers.

Evaluating and adopting new storage technologies often takes weeks, months and sometimes years! Certain applications of cloud storage, however, transcend these timelines. In his presentation Stephen Foskett will present 3 Enterprise storage problems that can be solved today using your existing infrastructure:

  1. Get critical data off-site now
  2. Implement true tiered storage
  3. Create a scalable archive

All three use cases will include essential input for your business case, including TCO/ROI and critical success factors.

That’s why I’m very pleased to be able to attend and speak at this year’s event, and I look forward to seeing my LA-based readers there, too!

The Symposium will be held August 4th through 6th and attendance is free for qualified IT end-user folks. I’m very much looking forward to presentations by Nth President, Mark Gonzalez, Raghu Raghuram of VMware, Scott McClellan of HP, Chuck Brown of Intel, AJ Casamento of Brocade, Dave Crespi of Emulex, Kumar Malavalli of InMage, and my friend, Shannon Smith and Chris VanWagoner, both of CommVault. There will also be some excellent hands-on lab opportunities with the latest storage gear. Victoria Halsey’s Hamster Revolution talk looks great, too!

I’ll have a Birds of a Feather Lunch table on Tuesday focused on cloud storage. On Wednesday I’ll be moderating a panel on cloud computing, featuring McClellan, Raghuram, Brown, Van Wagoner, and Geoff Tudor, co-founder of Nirvanix. Thursday I get my own keynote, where I’ll be presenting Three Enterprise Storage Problems You Can Solve Today.
