"The storage networking industry has evolved exponentially during the last 12 months and users cannot always keep pace. SNW 2004's programme will tackle this through a combination of theory and practice, and will focus on training and education." The two day conference tracks will be complemented by one of Europe's largest solutions centre demonstrations hosted live at the Frankfurt venue which will focus on multiprotocol SAN deployment, standards based SAN and storage management and a variety of storage applications The Solutions Centre will feature live and interactive links to SNIA's own multivendor labs in the United States and a purpose built demonstration facility being hosted at IBM's technology centre in Mainz, Germany. The Solutions Centre will enable conference delegates to experience first hand how the storage industry can cooperate in building multivendor networked storage solutions that address real customer needs. About SNW Europe 2004 SNW is
the leading global event series focused on the continued rapid growth and
implementation of storage networking, data management, architecture,
infrastructure and data centre technologies. SNW Europe will also be
