In 2007, exploding data growth and increasing pressure to protect that data from disasters, fraud and stiff regulations is changing the way storage professionals are expected to manage operations. Ever-changing technology and business considerations are fueling a sweeping change in storage networking fundamentals.

Figuring out how to treat data as information with a specific, classified value will allow storage-focused IT professionals to manage storage systems more efficiently and truly align storage operations with their organizations' strategic initiatives. Storage Decisions 2007, September 26-28 in New York City, addresses these issues head-on with in-depth, educational sessions. Download the materials from those sessions here.
