Letter From The Chair
Juergen Arnold, Chair, SNIA Europe, eurochair@snia.org

The doors of SNW Europe 2007 will open tomorrow at the Congress Centre in Frankfurt and I hope you will be there to celebrate with us! It was ten years ago that a small group of forward-thinking vendors came together to create an association that would promote the understanding and adoption of networked storage. Since then the SNIA has grown to be represented today around the world with local affiliates such as SNIA Europe, SNIA Japan, SNIA China, SNIA India, SNIA Canada, SNIA South Asia and SNIA ANZ.

This year’s conference brings you a comprehensive programme featuring the highest number of sessions to date, including speakers such as Arsenal FC, Swisscom and British Energy. Running under the theme “Information in Motion”, the conference will offer a unique opportunity to attend presentations about technology developments, how to address business-level challenges and real-world case studies. Three entire conference tracks will be devoted to your peers and EMEA end-users who will share their experiences of deploying storage-related technologies and services to help address their business challenges.

The technical sessions will cover all the current hottest topics such as information classification, storage management, XAM, archiving, compliance and green storage. In addition we have secured presentations by well-known organisations such as TheInfoPro, SAP, Oracle and MessageLabs on subjects including deduplication and data retention management with ERP.

So if you would like to learn about how to address your storage challenges, find out about the latest technologies and protocols, hear about real-world case studies or meet with over 50 of the leading industry players, then don’t miss SNW Europe.

But it doesn’t stop here. Our events committee has also been busy working to bring you the next SNIA Europe Academy dates, which will include Rome, Warsaw, Dubai, Zurich, Moscow, Stockholm and Copenhagen. You can find more information about these events in the ‘Academy Spotlight’ article and the Regional Committee Update in this issue of Storage Networking Times.

Over the next three days SNW Europe 2007 will give you the unique opportunity to learn from the experts, network with new contacts and exchange views with your peers; I look forward to seeing you there!
