“In just 2 days Powering the Cloud gives me an deep dive on current developments in the industry and the position of the major players”

Wim Huijbers, Technical Manager at Arteq BV

"When I have time I like to go to this event. It is well organized and the sessions are mostly very useful although I have joined some sessions which are not bringing the information as I expected seen from the title. Some sessions were given by other persons whatever reasons that may be. Some were OK but some also don’t understand how they have to give a presentation. The organization on the exhibition floor is OK although the stands were mostly small."

Fons Verhoeven, ICT consultant at KEOS Systems & Services BV

"I came a long way to attend the convention and had high expectations that were fully filled. The convention was well organized and the lectures were of high quality and provided a good picture of the trends of technology. For me, as a consultant , it was of great value.

I deffinitely will come again."

Yoel Blumberger, CTO of Yoel Blumberger Consultants and Project Management

"The event was both technically interesting and effective. It was time away from s busy schedule very well spent. I would totally recommend it."

George Jackson, Irish Prisions

Delegate Feedback from 2009

Bas van der Worp, storage administrator at global health care company Schering-Plough commented "I regularly attend SNW Europe because it is always a very worthwhile use of my time. This year I came to talk to a number of vendors and to learn more about solid state disk technology. For me the conference element of the event is one of the main attractions."

Alexander Liesch, IT manager at the Fraunhofer Institute for Computer Graphics Research (IGD) was also pleased with what he saw "I am currently evaluating the latest data backup solutions so I came to SNW Europe to see first-hand how they work and compare. Just like last year the conference gave me the opportunity to meet with vendors and improve my knowledge of the more recent technology developments. Two enthusiastic thumbs up from me."

Ralf Liesen, IT manager at global supplier of healthcare solutions Cerner shares the positive views "This was my first time at SNW Europe and I will certainly return next year. Over the two days I found the presentations on cloud storage and the Cloud Data Management Interface particularly useful. For someone like me who cannot spare too much time to talk to vendors and attend educational events, this conference is an important appointment in my calendar."

Testimonials

"SNW Europe was an excellent event to introduce Avere to the European market. Highly qualified attendees, a large audience and professional organisation on the part of show staff helped make the event a success for us." - Rebecca Thompson, VP of marketing at Avere Systems
"SNW Europe attracts the storage user community and through its agenda it addresses all of the highest priority issues shared among the industry. Therefore the event was the perfect platform for us to announce the Imation scalable storage portfolio and the new strategy in Europe." Patrick Bertschat, Product Marketing Manager Europe at Imation
"This year's SNW Europe gave us once again the perfect opportunity to connect with customers, partners and industry peers. The conference is a great indicator of storage trends and developments, giving the various industry voices and opinions a platform for discussion. During the two days we came to the conclusion that the key storage problems are still similar to the ones a year ago. One thing has changed though – while budgets remain the same, data volumes increase dramatically. Therefore it is mandatory to enhance storage efficiency within data centres. WAN optimisation plays a key role here as it facilitates consolidation, hence enabling a greater efficiency at lower costs." - Christian Lorentz, senior product marketing and alliance manager, EMEA at Riverbed Technology
"SNW Europe for Scality was an excellent platform for both our news at the show around cloud storage TCO and our new relationship with Mezeo, but also a great space for connecting us with potential customers and partners. After my presentation, I was greeted by a throng of people keen to exchange business cards and talk about how we can help them into their private cloud strategy." - Jérôme Lecat, CEO of Scality
"Undoubtedly SNW Europe was once again a good show for Virtual Instruments. We ran our own seminar and had a speaker in the virtualisation track which allowed us to put our brand in front of hundreds of potential customers. The quality of the delegates was even better than it was in 2010." - Chris James, EMEA marketing director at Virtual Instruments
