SNW is around the corner – Tis the season for Tutorial Reviews and Buyers Guide Updates

This is a busy time of year. The are kids returning to school soon, vacation season is over for most of us, and Storage Networking World is approaching. SNW Fall in the US will be held at the beautiful Gaylord Texan Resort in Dallas Texas from October 13–17. SNW Europe will be held in Franfurt from October 27–29. In preparation for SNW there are two activities you will be hearing about this week. Watch your inbox for notifications.

The first activity is the call for participation in the 4th Edition of the Data Protection Initiative Members Buyers Guide which will be distributed at SNW. The DPI buyers guide is intended for end-users to help them understand what Continuous Data Protection (CDP), Virtual Tape Libraries (VTL) and Data Deduplication products are available in the market today.

When completed, the DPI Buyers Guide is available for download from the DMF website and distributed in print at various tradeshows throughout the year. There is no cost to list your product(s) in the guide, but you must be a current DMF member. Don't be left out.

The second activity is the open review of SNIA tutorials. The DMF will be presenting a number of tutorials during SNW so let your voice be heard. Open Review will run for 2 weeks, starting August 25th. The invitation and instructions will be sent in an email soon.
