The experts at IT market research company IDC are predicting a bright future for the storage market in 2013: Global spending in this sector is expected to rise to up to 30 billion euros. This growth will also have a positive impact on the German storage market.



However, the exponential growth in data also presents companies and authorities with the challenge of optimizing the management and analysis of data. At the same time, they must ensure that disaster recovery can be guaranteed at all times - even under complex conditions and with the inclusion of cloud services.



The IT-BUSINESS Academy's "Storage & Data Management Technology Conference 2013" in April offers the ideal opportunity to familiarize yourself with the latest technologies and to exchange ideas directly with the industry's market leaders. In line with the new challenges and changes in the industry, the concept of the successful specialist conference series has also been supplemented with a number of new features.



In addition to keynote speeches by independent experts and specialist presentations by manufacturers and distributors, there will also be workshops and roundtables this year. Participants will work in small groups to develop concrete, tried-and-tested solutions. The focus will be on exchanging experiences, discussions and technical talks with other participants from user companies.



The "Storage & Datamanagement Technology Conference" will take place on:

09.04. in Hamburg

11.04. in Düsseldorf/Neuss

16.04. in Darmstadt

18.04. in Munich
