S3 to Show Virtualized Ecosystem at IP EXPO

IT solutions reseller Solid State Solutions Limited will demo an entire IT virtualized ecosystem at IP EXPO on 17 and 18 October.
 
As part of its bid to target virtualization and the cloud, S3 will give away iPod nanos to delegates who pre-register and attend a 30-minute demonstration of the live virtualized ecosystem during the two-day event at London’s Earls Court 2. Spaces are limited to just 20.
 
The ecosystem will show applications running on virtualized servers, featuring VM-Aware storage from Tintri, Inc. as well as Nexsan Corp. Xsigo Systems, in virtual I/0 will provide the ‘Datacentre Fabric’. The ecosystem will be managed and protected by Veeam Software.
 
S3 has dubbed its vision of expanding virtualization beyond just hypervisors and servers as ‘Virtualization 3.0’.

S3 head of business development, Gurdip Kalley, said: "As the UK’s fastest growing data storage management reseller, we are going back to what we believe is core to the data centre – virtualization. Virtualization 3.0, the virtualization of all aspects of the data centre, rather than just compute, will create the foundation for the cloud model of computing. Achieving this requires a holistic approach to virtualization and ongoing management in order to create a unified, dynamic and agile next-generation computing environment."
 
On its stand at IP EXPO, S3 will also showcase a storage solution called Oxygen Cloud, effectively an enterprise Dropbox application allowing anywhere, anytime access to corporate data to any device using an enterprise application. As part of its partnership with the storage reseller, S3 will give away free Oxygen accounts on the day.
