In 2006, $25 billion was invested in the United States — $9 billion of that in Silicon Valley.Innovation can happen anywhere and the key to innovation is communications. Innovation is happening in Israel and Eastern Europe, and there are new technology companies being created in Latin America.

Latin America presents an enormous opportunity, specifically in telecom infrastructure build-out, and is a more attractive market for a U.S. telecom supplier (specifically a start-up).

June 21-24, 2004.

Dan Gatti is the Chairperson of Storage in the Enterprise: SAN-NAS-DAS -- Building Resiliency into Enterprise Networks

http://www.cica.org/supercomm/index.asp

The increasing adoption and growth of networked storage across businesses of all types and sizes has helped bring storage area networks (SAN) to a new level of maturity. Today many users are ready to take their SAN deployment to the next level in order to continue to meet business objectives, such as improved storage resource access and utilization, disaster recovery and business continuity. Often this requires increasing the number of ports or devices physically connected to a large SAN and/or creating "wide area" SANs through the interconnection of geographically dispersed SAN islands.

This workshop is intended to help users navigate through the complexities involved with design and deployment of large scale distributed SANs by addressing several of the key issues that may be encountered, including areas such as scalability, availability, performance and security. To provide help for overcoming these issues, the workshop will introduce available best practices and complementary technologies as well as relevant areas for industry standardization.
