BE Where Digital Storage Converges with Content Creation and Delivery!

JOIN CEO’s, Industry Leaders, manufacturers and end users at Storage Visions 2011, for our 10th Anniversary!

FIND HOW Digital Content will be Created, Protected and Stored from the executives, analysts and professionals at the forefront of Digital Technology!

The theme of the 2011 Storage Visions Conference is: New Dimensions Drive Digital Storage. This theme recognizes the role that increasing content resolution and stereoscopic content will play in driving demand for content and storage devices that support making, distributing, using and saving that content. Demand for storage is high for all content applications and strong reports are out for storage system, HDD and many flash memory manufacturers.

What industry leaders say...

"Storage Visions is a highly targeted conference that provides computing and IT professional a valuable venue to network and keep abreast on the latest in storage trends and technology."
--Justin Sykes, director of SSD marketing for Micron Technology

“I was impressed with the technical content and the number of attendees at the Conference” Jon Anderson, Storage Industry Veteran

"Storage Visions was honestly one of the most well put together conferences I have attended both from a technology and networking point of view. Truly a rare combination. All of the panels were incredibly relevant and in some cases eye opening. I loved all the different views people brought to the table regarding the direction of the industry."--Scott Holewinski, Gillware

"I wanted to congratulate you on a job well done at Storage Visions 2010! The panelists and speakers were focused and very informative. My favorite presentations was James Gemmell’s “Total Recall and Total Storage.” That was a fantastic presentation that showed the relationship of data with storage in a very practical way; as an audience we all know that video and music data is claiming GB and TBs worth of data, yet James’ presentation showed how massive amounts of data could be consumed with eDiaries and the meta-data to describe it."—Sean Berry, Kroll On-Track

“Storage Visions is a great opportunity to hear from industry leaders on market trends, speak with customers about their needs, and meet potential partners for targeted solutions, all in a setting that fosters one on one business conversations. We were delighted with Storage Visions 2008 and look forward to Storage Visions 2009.”
   — Dean Neumann, Director, Product Marketing, Bycast Inc.

"Storage Visions brought together key decision makers in storage, computing and IT and offered a number of valuable and timely presentations. Armed with knowledge from the sessions and the many great demo's and exhibits, attendees can return to their organizations to investigate and deploy effective storage solutions."
   — Brian Berger, Chair, Trusted Computing Group, Marketing Work Group and Executive Vice President, Wave Systems.

“Across the show floor, attendees can see the increasing array of consumer electronics products that incorporate digital storage. Storage Visions will help our attendees and the consumer electronics industry at large better understand and take advantage of this trend and the overall content value chain.”
   —Gary Shapiro, President and CEO of the Consumer Electronics Association

Many Changes Lie Ahead...

The coming decade will see new storage architectures developing including home storage virtualization, cloud and remote storage as well as new models for mobile storage. As in the past, new storage technologies will help to spawn new applications to allow people to capture and enjoy more of their world, more or their everyday experiences and share it with others. We will develop new tools to capture and organize our lives, we will see more content created by more people and more ways to distribute, monetize and make that content useful. From cloud storage to life-logs, from external direct attached and networked storage to the increasingly high resolution content that we will surround ourselves with wherever we go—we live in an age when the personal and collective memory of humans will reach new levels.
