NEW YORK CITY, New York – September 20th, 2011 – Alacritech, the pioneer in NFS storage acceleration today announced that Doug Rainbolt, V.P. of Marketing, will speak at the Storage Decisions New York Conference in New York City, NY, on September 20th at 9:55 a.m. EST. Rainbolt’s presentation – “What Does Tiered Storage Really Do to Performance?” – will shed light on the variety of NAS storage options that exist today, their pros and cons, and how enterprise storage practitioners can ultimately decide which option is best for them.
“Recently there’s been a great deal of attention paid to many of the elements of a storage infrastructure,” said Rainbolt. “Some people are advocating spending large amounts of money on flash, but actually the key is to buy a range of products that will net the performance gains you want within the parameters of a reasonable budget. On September 20th, we’ll cut through the marketing hyperbole and talk about evaluating your options – whether it is flash, acceleration appliances, traditional drives or a combination of several alternatives – and getting to a decision that provides the most upside for your company.”
Rainbolt’s presentation is part of the Pavilion Sponsor and Emerging Technology Showcase and is scheduled for 9:55 to 10:05 a.m. EST on Tuesday, September 20th at the Hilton New York, Gramercy Ballroom.
The two day Storage Decisions Conference is the place to find the industry’s best independent experts – as keynote speakers, the leading vendors in the storage space – as valued sponsors, and the most qualified group of storage professionals – as attendees, all under one roof. The carefully selected collection of experts, end-users, and sponsors provides those involved in the evaluating, implementing, and purchasing of storage an unprecedented opportunity to gain insight into the products, policies, and procedures driving storage demands in 2011.
