The Storage Networking Industry Association announces the official launch of the Storage Plumbing and Data Engineering Conference (SPDEcon)

A conference “By Experts, for Experts (and those who want to be….)”.

Conference Dates: June 10 - 12, 2013
Conference Venue: Hyatt Regency Hotel - Santa Clara, California

Overview

Specifically differentiated from both SNW and Storage Developer Conference (SDC), SNIA’s new storage industry event, the Storage Plumbing and Data Engineering Conference (SPDEcon, pronounced “Speedy-con”), is targeted for “hardcore” storage development and data engineering experts whose positions may involve configuring, integrating, and supporting storage and data management solutions – often referred to as the “storage plumbing.”

Sessions planned such as those listed below should provide insights into such technology areas as file systems, IO, storage system tuning and performance enhancement. Presentations on development of in-house software and augmenting open source software for storage and data infrastructure are planned. Topic submissions covering concepts pioneering state-of-the-art storage and data management, piloted in a deployment cycle of design, building and testing are also being solicited.

Join us in Santa Clara for an intimate, tight-knit, industry-unique, vendor-neutral learning experience whether you are a vendor employee, systems engineer, sysadmin, reseller, systems integrator, or technical consultant working in this area. Participate if you are part of that highly specialized “techno-geek” squad for any company, organization or department where these skills are expected of you. SPDEcon will provide a deep-dive into key technical details of storage and data management and the know–how to further advance solutions, increase acceptability and interoperability in production environments, and the help to understand where “storage plumbing” technologies are heading.

Share your knowledge and exerience as a storage plumber or data engineer and submit a proposal for SPDEcon. The deadline for submission of proposals has been extended to March 25th.
