The show is now in its 8th successful year and in addition to more than 100 exhibitors the education programme features over 60 experts on data storage and information management. Visiting Storage Expo at the National Hall Olympia London from 15th - 16th October 2008 will help organisations discover their most effective tools and methods to meet your storage, information and content management needs.

A survey by Storage Expo has found the top data storage challenges facing organisations are:

· How to implement the right disaster recovery strategies (48 percent)

At Storage Expo there will be a number of Key Speakers who will cover these issues, with case studies and discussions of how to solve them.

Education Programme Overview:

Storage practice has traditionally been driven by the push of legislation rather than the pull of sound business practice; but increasingly business efficiency, utilization of intelligence, process management and productivity benefits are pulling storage strategy.

The Keynote speakers will include senior executives and storage experts from the government, banks, Formula one team teams and industry analysts.
