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.
