Demartek Comments on Storage Networking World Spring 2011

The Spring 2011 Storage Networking World (SNW) conference held last week in Santa Clara, California was a great conference for us. I had the great pleasure of giving three sessions at this SNW conference covering topics such as SSDs, Unified Storage Networking and FCoE, and I/O Virtualization (SR-IOV and MR-IOV). In addition, we met with several companies including Avere Systems, Dataram, Fusion-IO, Marvell, Micron, Nimbus Data, Pliant Technologies, Scality, Texas Memory Systems, Viking Modular, Virident, and others discussing SSD technology and cloud computing.
