March 23rd @ 8am EST: Storage Decisions Seminar:  Take Control of Your Storage with Storage Virtualization.

Virtualization has changed the rules.  It’s no longer about consolidation.  It’s about 24 x 7 x 365 application availability.  It’s about simplification.  It’s about massively reducing manually intensive tasks while squeezing the most absolutely possible out of the infrastructure while reducing power and cooling.

Storage can no longer be “the tail wagging the dog,” as it has been in so many IT organizations. Virtualization has the potential to provide the same or a similar paradigm shift for storage.   Server virtualization has changed the rules.

Joe Castro, VP of Technology, presented Siwel’s Backup & Recovery Solutions as a NetApp Platinum Partner at this one-day seminar in NYC.   more
