Storage World addresses modern struggles

Storage World opens its doors today to over 200 delegates looking for the most up to date solutions and advice from 66 exhibitors on how to handle their ever increasing storage loads and ensure that these records meet compliance requirements too.

According to Gartner, storage is becoming one of the most important infrastructure-buying decisions that the IT professional has to deal with.

These decisions are based on issues such as the interoperability between storage products, optimising the utilisation of current storage capacity, managing expanding storage costs, business continuity, disaster recovery planning and keeping ahead of new technologies.

Storage World provides delegates with the chance to listen to expert end users and top industry professionals; it creates an opportunity for them to see the latest storage technology, meet vendors and learn how to reduce the cost of storage investments.

World class speakers will talk about how to increase performance and end users will highlight how solutions have worked best for them.

For instance, NASA will explain how it has been able to manage data from numerous space probes throughout the solar system; how it deals with increasingly complex data management burdens and how NASA will cope with growing storage brought on by faster transmission and increased power.

Michael Heffernan, the national infrastructure manager from Flightcentre, will also talk about how the organisation developed and implemented products & services around enterprise storage, backup, disaster recovery & virtual services. He will also talk about managing the business requirements for offsite replication and business strategy in order to restore IT services in the case of a disaster.

Storage World Australia 2004 is being held at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre, Darling Harbour from August 23rd-24th.
