Storage Decisions Session Downloads (NYC 2006)
Take a look at the sessions that floored at the Storage Decisions conference in New York City, September 27-29, 2006.
Storage managers are hitting a crossroads in 2006. Data in virtually every organisation continues to grow at a breakneck pace -- and to keep up, storage networks continue to be built out. This effort is juxtaposed against the storage manager's need to keep it all manageable and keep costs under control.
Storage Decisions 2006 in New York City, September 27-29 tackled these challenges head-on. Below is a full listing of sessions from the show and the slide presentations that go with those topics.

TRACK 2: SMART SHOPPER, "Simplify, Scale and Save"
Very few storage managers have carte blanche when it comes to storage spending. Because of this and the harsh demands of data growth rates, managers need to spend budget wisely. Sessions in our "Smart Shopper track" help managers get the most bang for their storage buck. Talks on negotiating with vendors, looking at different product sets and emerging technologies fall in this realm.
