Welcome To Our Newest MemberWe would like to welcome EqualLogic as a new member of IPSI. Being involved in the initiative enables vendors to help us educate the market and gives companies the opportunity to help shape the technology. Therefore I would like to encourage every vendor, distributor and reseller to join us. You can find out more at www.snia-europe.org/ipstorage. ThanksI also would like to take this opportunity to thank Denise Ridolfo, Wolfgang Singer and Dave Dale for their continuous support and for presenting our tutorials at the SNIA Europe Academy events, SNW Europe and the various Storage Expos. Thanks to highly committed individuals in both the USA and EMEA, IPSI and the IP Storage Forum (IPSF, based in the US) have been working closely together and have a number of activities planned for the next 12 months. Stay Up-To-DateIf you are interested in the latest information around IP storage and iSCSI, please make sure you read Dave Dale’s latest article ‘The State of iSCSI: Continued Rapid Market Growth and Expansion Beyond Windows Stronghold’ at in the FarSighted archive or the column ‘Standards Update’ that I wrote earlier this year. SNW Europe 2007The SNIA IPSI and IPSF teams will be available in Frankfurt at the SNW Europe conference, where we will give presentations and take questions from end users, vendors and resellers alike, to provide education and guidance on all matters related to IP storage.

Although the summer months are traditionally associated with the holidays and a general slowdown of the business pace here in Europe, looking back I realise that the IP Storage Initiative (IPSI) achieved quite a lot during the June - August timeframe.
To start with, we had our first meeting with a new member of SNIA Europe which is particularly focused on the IP storage space. We spoke to media and industry analysts about hot topics related to iSCSI and its planned growth. In the UK, we organised the first SNIA Europe technology webcast around IP storage technologies and solutions; following its success we are now planning to roll such webcasts out across Europe with multiple topics related to IP storage.
