Storage Networking Times |
Letter from the Chair |
||
In this issue of Storage Networking Times we bring you the latest news on a number of developments, namely around the Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) and the Network Data Management Protocol (NDMP). Our contributors also discuss hot topics such as storage security, data deduplication and the real cost of losing data. SNIA Europe will kick off its events calendar with the first Academy appointment for 2008 being held in Dubai on 5th February; this will be quickly followed by Zurich on 26th February. For 2008 we are also pleased to announce that we have added three key locations to the Academy itinerary: London and Paris, both taking place in May, and Milan, slated for September. You can find all the details at www.storage-academy.com. In addition to this programme we are actively working to bring you a number of webcasts following the success of last year’s IP Storage Webinar, which attracted participants from throughout Europe. And of course the planning is already under way for SNW Europe 2008 taking place in Frankfurt from 27th - 29th October. More details can be found at www.snweurope.com With so many storage and information management educational and peer networking opportunities on this year’s calendar, I sincerely hope to see many of you at our events. As for my new year’s resolutions, I am looking forward to working with the rest of the Board, and all the committee members to make SNIA Europe an even better information resource for IT professionals and the industry overall. Here’s to a great 2008! |

First and foremost I would like to wish you all a successful and prosperous 2008. This is the time of year when we all make new resolutions so why not make it one of your goals to ensure that over the next 12 months your data storage infrastructure is going to be even more efficient than it is today? Efficiency is at the source of many benefits in the datacentre such as lower costs, increased productivity and of course reduced CO2 emissions.
