The first of three Brocade events under the motto "The Evolution of the Data Center" begins on June 3, 2008. The knowledge portal SearchStorage.de is accompanying the event as a media partner in Hamburg, Munich and Hanau.
2007 was the year of server virtualization. Many companies are already busy with projects. However, those responsible do not have much time left, as virtualization will inevitably become necessary. The Brocade conferences 2008 are being held under the motto "The Evolution of the Data Center". The focus will be on Storage Area Networking (SAN) and the rapidly growing File Area Networking (FAN) segment. The online portal SearchStorage.de will provide editorial coverage of this important industry event as a media partner.
Storage professionals can expect practical examples and solutions on file virtualization, consolidation, business continuity, ILM and remote office integration as well as Brocade services. Christine Schmidt, Marketing Manager Central & Eastern Europe at Brocade: "The online knowledge portal SearchStorage.de offers high-quality information on all aspects of storage and data management. It is the ideal platform for us to reach storage professionals in German-speaking countries. We are delighted to have SearchStorage.de as our media partner for the Brocade conferences."

The editorial team conducted an exclusive interview with Heiko Schrader, Regional Sales Manager for Germany, Austria & Eastern Europe.
