Byte and Switch and InformationWeek are partnering to host a Virtual Event on "Innovations in Storage," where a star-studded lineup will discuss the technological advances that have revolutionized the industry. More than just a Webcast, this virtual event will not only discuss storage technologies on the vanguard of innovation, but also the business issues that companies face in optimally storing, protecting, retrieving, and using corporate data. It also will provide you with ample opportunity to chat with our distinguished speakers and your peers. It happens March 25. Read on to learn more.
Some of the most important advances in storage today include improvements in backup, disaster recovery, storage virtualization, cloud storage, and data deduplication. All these concepts are enabling companies to derive greater value from their data, thereby improving company performance. For example, increases in complex regulations are prompting IT executives to find better ways to back up and protect data while at the same time ensuring it is available to more people and applications in a timely fashion. They also have to have a strategic and leading-edge disaster recovery plan. And one of the most anticipated advances in storage -- virtualization -- is helping break the chains that directly link storage space to servers and applications, allowing administrators to reclaim unused or idle storage. Many companies have started to explore the concept of cloud storage, which has the potential to transform the way businesses buy and use storage.
Learn more about these and other crucial storage issues. The virtual doors to the virtual event open at 10 a.m. on Wednesday, March 25. Attendees will gain insights from innovative business-technology executives and InformationWeek and ByteandSwitch editors on how to leverage the latest storage innovations in your business. You also will be able to download informative research, white papers, and other resources straight to your "Virtual Briefcase." The engaging and life-like virtual event environment will give you the opportunity to interact with your peers through real-time chat and networking tools. You also will be able to visit vendor booths, browse through products and solutions, and join Q&A sessions in our unique, interactive, and entertaining environment.

10:30-11:15: Opening Keynote with Dr. Kenneth Thibodeau, Director of the Electronic Records Archives (ERA), National Archives and Records Administration (NARA)
As the nation prepared to usher in its 44th president, the National Archives and Records Administration faced an intimidating assignment: The massive responsibility of sorting, indexing, protecting, preserving, and providing secure access to the massive volumes of paper and electronic records created by the federal government during eight years of the Bush administration. So daunting is the task that NARA enacted an emergency plan to take over parts of the White House storage system and freeze its contents one day prior to the Obama inauguration. Join Dr. Kenneth Thibodeau, Director of NARA's ERA program, as he describes how his organization is applying the latest innovations in archival technologies to pursue its monumental mission of preserving and safeguarding some of our nation's most precious and sensitive data.
