Top Women in Storage: Page 4 of 17

At NEC, Dutch is pushing grid storage networking forward by designing and promoting the Hydrastor architecture, which integrates grid technology with data management solutions. Her main contribution became evident this month, when the company released the Hydrastor HS8, a disk-based storage system that packs backup and archiving, as well as de-duplication and data compression. Though the product will see competition from the likes of Data Domain, analysts have said it's bound to make a mark on the storage industry.
