SEPATON CTO Miklos Sandorfi Speaker at Storage Networking World
MARLBOROUGH, MA -- April 2, 2008 -- SEPATON, Inc., the leader in enterprise-class data protection solutions, today announced that Miklos Sandorfi, chief technology officer (CTO), will be a speaker at Storage Networking World, taking place April 7 - 10 at Rosen Shingle Creek Resort in Orlando, Florida. SEPATON will also demonstrate its enterprise-class virtual tape library, the S2100-ES2, with Dot Hill Systems Corp. in Booth #209.
Mr. Sandorfi will lead an SNIA tutorial track session entitled "Growing the Green Storage Environment" which will take place on Monday, April 7 from 3:45 to 4:30 pm. This tutorial will describe the state of the green data center: why the challenge is very real, what technologies exist today to counter that challenge, and why innovative software that shrinks and streamlines storage is key. It will explain why space-saving technologies like deduplication and thin provisioning are crucial to achieving the green data center. These capabilities not only serve as the foundation for the energy-efficient data center, but also increase storage-related ROI across the board.
Mr. Sandorfi will also participate in a panel entitled "Not all Deduplication Solutions are Alike," which will be moderated by Arun Taneja, founder and consulting analyst, Taneja Group and will take place on Monday, April 7 from 4:40 - 5:25 pm. The focus of this session will be on helping IT users make responsible purchasing decisions rather than on bits and bytes. It will review data deduplication compared to compression; the various methods of deduplication and their pros and cons; how to determine which deduplication method is best for an organization and data type; what data deduplication ratios to expect; and how to evaluate data deduplication vendors and products.
