SNW Europe Takes Place October 30–31 in Frankfurt

SNIA Europe would like to welcome you to SNW Europe, Datacenter Technologies and Virtualization World 2012 brought to you this year under the theme of ‘Powering the Cloud’. We have retained this theme for 2012 as so many of your IT decisions encompass architectures and services based on cloud–based solutions, a natural evolution of the widespread adoption of virtualization, service–oriented architectures and utility computing, which are impacting almost every size and type of organization.

While cloud remains our central theme for SNW Europe 2012, we have not lost sight of the fact that where you store and protect your information, how you move it and how/where you process it, all are the main cornerstones of your IT environment. We have expert speakers in these key areas that focus on vital elements of your IT landscape. For more information, visit http://poweringthecloud.com/home.
