Lowell, MA and London, UK - April 17, 2007 - Acopia Networks®, Inc. today announced it will host a seminar at the London County Hall Marriott, on Tuesday, April 24, from 10:00 a.m. - 14:45 p.m. The seminar, intended for IT executives who wish to learn how intelligent file virtualization can help them achieve dramatic savings in capital (CAPEX) and operational (OPEX) expenditures, will feature Acopia chief technology officer (CTO) and respected industry leader, Rick Gillett.
"Today's storage environments are highly complex, inflexible, inefficient, and seemingly growing out-of-control," commented Gillett. "Intelligent file virtualization is gaining popularity due to its ability to manage explosive growth and escalating costs." He continued, "By decoupling file access from physical file location, this innovative technology provides the freedom to move data at your convenience, the freedom to place data at your discretion, and the freedom to choose the storage technology that best meets your business needs - all without application, or business, disruption."
At the seminar, attendees will learn how to:
- Reduce capital expenditures through automated storage tiering
- Defer capital expenditure through higher utilization of existing file storage systems
- Reduce operational costs through automated, non-disruptive storage management, including data migration, storage provisioning, and load balancing
- Improve business workflow by scaling the performance of existing file storage devices
- Enhance disaster recovery and centralized backup
Following the educational and highly interactive session, attendees will be treated to a peer networking champagne flight on The British Airways London Eye, one of the world's tallest observation wheels, offering incomparable views of London.
