Join the IP Storage Forum
There has never been a better time to join the SNIA IP Storage Forum.
We have significant industry momentum, and a strong marketing agenda
designed to complement member companies’ own marketing initiatives.
The IPSF’s agenda to promote this growth for 2007 builds on our successes
of the past two years. End-user education around the world (through
seminars, webinars, SNIA tutorials, industry events, and hands-on
demonstrations) remains a primary focus. In addition, the Forum will
continue to create collateral, articles, deployment case studies, and
technology positioning materials to provide vendor-neutral industry
education which complements member companies’ individual marketing
initiatives and materials.
The IPSF marketing agenda is designed to complement individual member
companies’ own specific marketing initiatives around their IP Storage
products:
- By providing vendor-neutral awareness and positioning on IP Storage
technologies and solutions and executing educational initiatives aimed at
end users, the IP Storage Forum can help grow the market and “raise all
boats”.
- By providing solutions blueprints, end-user case studies and a product
showcase, the Forum enables member companies to promote their own products
and solutions.
- By providing educational materials for SNIA’s international affiliates,
the Forum enables member companies to gain local visibility as a leader in
the technology and complement their own market expansion activities.
With full voting membership fees of only $5000 per year, that’s a
significant payback on a very modest investment! And the more you
participate in the Forum’s agenda, the more your company will benefit.

IPSF: Driving the Market
The market for IP Storage technologies is the fastest growing segment of
the storage market, and it is expected to continue to expand rapidly as
iSCSI-based SANs continue to rapidly replace direct-attached storage in the
Windows market, and as a broad range of affordable IP SAN solutions become
available for other host OS environments.
The IPSF’s agenda to promote this growth, end-user education around the
world (through seminars, webinars, SNIA tutorials, industry events, and
hands-on demonstrations) remains a primary focus. In addition, the Forum
will continue to create collateral, articles, deployment case studies, and
technology positioning materials to provide vendor-neutral industry
education which complements member companies’ individual marketing
initiatives and materials.
The Forum continues to create industry related fact sheets, contributed
articles, deployment case studies and technology positioning materials to
provide vendor-neutral industry education which complements member
companies' individual marketing initiatives and materials.
