Cloud Storage Initiative Reduces Fees for ‘Strategic Class’ Members During the first three years of its life, the Cloud Storage Initiative was generously supported by a small group of members who contributed fees of $35,000 a year to grow the Initiative’s budget and defray expenses associated with the annual Cloud Burst Conference, CDMI/Cloud Plugfests, the CSI Kiosks at Storage Networking World and marketing materials. Having achieved success given this boost, but wanting to allow more members to enjoy the benefits of Strategic Class memberships, the CSI Governing Board has announced that is has reduced fees for 'Strategic Class' members to $15,000 for 2013. Members who are interested in upgrading their CSI memberships or joining for the first time can contact Tony DiCenzo, CSI Marketing Committee Chair or Lisa Mercurio SNIA Membership Services Manager for details. 2012 SNIA Recognition Honorees Announced SNIA holds an annual nomination process to recognize our passionate and dedicated volunteers that make the work of SNIA possible.
