SNW Europe Better Than Expected
By Jean-Jacques Maleval, Mon, October 5th, 2009

Among the big ones, only HP missing
Last June, we wrote on the SNW Europe coming on October 27-28 in Frankfurt, Germany:" Among the exhibitors this year, we don't see already big names like Brocade, Dell, EMC, IBM, NetApp or Oracle, that were Platinum sponsors in 2008. Fujitsu is currently the only one for 2009."
But it will be better than expected with the following companies finally recruited as exhibitors:
Platinum sponsors:
Among the biggest storage companies, HP and Oracle (but represented by Sun), platinum sponsors in 2008, are the only ones missing. Pillar Data and Overland Storage were gold sponsors last year.
It seems that there is a new trend as some storage companies now prefer to exhibit on shows not dedicated to storage only, but to larger IT subjects. The organizers understood it as, this year, the SNW Europe is co-located with two conferences and exhibitions focusing on virtualization and data center technologies.
But it will be better than expected with the following companies finally recruited as exhibitors:
