WHO: Rachel Young, vice president of global marketing at Hitachi Data Systems Corporation, provider of Services Oriented Storage Solutions™ solutions and a wholly owned subsidiary of Hitachi, Ltd. (NYSE: HIT).
WHAT: Ms. Young will be giving a presentation titled, "The Next Big Thing in Storage," in which she will elaborate on how Hitachi's revolutionary controller-based approach to storage virtualization is gaining material marketshare at a time competitors are struggling to get products to market.
VENUE: Morgan Keegan 2005 Semi/Storage Tech Conference
WHEN: Tuesday, November 15, 2005, 10:00 AM Pacific
WHERE: St. Regis Resort, Monarch Beach
1 Monarch Beach Resort
Dana Point, California 92629
(Advance registration with Morgan Keegan is required)
WHY: Today's IT users are often forced to unnecessarily buy more storage capacity just to obtain the latest features and functionality, since many storage vendors only include the latest functionality with their newest disk arrays. Ms. Young will outline how Hitachi Data Systems has changed the playing field with its breakthrough large-scale, controller-based virtualization technologies, while competitors continue to focus on building monolithic disk arrays still based on 20th century designs. The Hitachi Data Systems approach, introduced with the TagmaStore™ Universal Storage Platform one year ago and now available in the Network Storage Controller for midsized enterprises, separates the commodity media (disks) from the innovation (intelligent control unit) required to provide storage, data and content services, provides total flexibility for IT buyers to match application requirements to storage attributes.
