MARLBOROUGH, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Wikibon today announced that Co-Founder David Vellante will moderate the ‘Primary Data Optimization: What It Should Be’ panel at Storage Networking World (SNW) being held at the JW Marriot Grande Lakes in Orlando, FL on October 10-13, 2011. Craig Nunes, VP Marketing at HP Storage; Steve Kenniston, Global Storage Efficiency Evangelist at IBM; Larry Freeman, Senior Marketing Manager at NetApp; and Jered Floyd, CTO and Founder of Permabit will join Vellante in what is sure to be a lively discussion on approaches, technologies and benefits organizations should consider when evaluating primary data optimization offerings.
As cloud computing, big data, mobility and social media continue to push storage growth to overwhelming rates, adoption around primary data optimization technologies remains mixed. Practitioners need to better understand the options, how to exploit these technologies, the risks of implementation, true costs, and bottom line business benefits. The panelists will offer their unique perspective on how data optimization helps to reduce overall costs by improving efficiencies, locating and eliminating duplicate data, and what you should expect to see in the future.
The panel, taking place on October 10 at 11:10 am, will also explore how technologies such as deduplication and compression are different from other approaches and how they can work together to reduce storage costs, footprint, and most importantly the anticipated impact on performance.
