Virtual Instruments New Member of SNIA Europe

Virtual Instruments Corporation
announced that it has joined the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Europe as it continues to invest in
growing its European presence.

As a member company Virtual Instruments will work with SNIA Europe to help develop
best practices and to educate the market about data storage optimisation and
related technologies including cloud computing.

Over the last 12 months, Virtual Instruments has experienced an
increase in the number of Global 2000 enterprises deploying its platform
VirtualWisdom. This is an indication of the need for increased visibility
into storage networks among end users, and by contributing to the direction of
the association Virtual Instruments will help organisations make the most of their
existing investments in data storage technologies.

"SNIA Europe is one of the few independent groups of vendors,
resellers and consultants that end users can turn to for guidance on storage
best practices and education," said Chris James, EMEA marketing director
at Virtual Instruments. "By becoming a member we will help educate the
market on how to optimise storage infrastructure today and during the
transition to the private cloud through full visibility into their SANs."

"As more members join the association, SNIA Europe continues to
strengthen its position at the heart of the industry and therefore I am very
pleased to welcome Virtual Instruments on board," said Bob Plumridge,
Chairman of the Board, SNIA Europe. "The adoption of cloud-based storage
environments is steadily rising and it is of paramount importance for us to be
able to rely on the knowledge of members who have developed innovative
technologies that will be critical to organisations making the move to the
cloud."
