Save the date for IIIS event in August

If you are based in Australia then put a note in your calendar for August 2nd and 3rd. This is the date of the first Implementing Information Infrastructure Symposium (IIIS) which will be held at the Hilton Hotel in Sydney. The event is partnership between Storage Networking Industry Association for Australia and New Zealand (SNIA ANZ) and IDG Australia.

The first round of vendors have signed up as premier partners for the event, being :

• Cisco
• Dell
• EMC
• HDS
• HP
• IBM
• NetApp and
• Symantec

There means there is going to be some great information and speakers available. However don't think this is just going to be a vendor fest. Onwards from here

IIIS is now embarking on signing up the Technology and Channel sponsorship partners. Altogether, some 40 vendors and partners will present to delegates as well as speakers from large Australian corporations, subject matter experts, and the leading industry analyst from the USA.

If you are not lucky enough to get to overseas events such as the recent EMC World or the upcoming VMworld, I think you are going to find this event very useful. Storage and information management is a massive are of interest and development at the moment.

Hopefully I will see you there!

P.S. Note that I am a board member of SNIA ANZ so I probably have a vested interest in people attending this. But I am a geek first and still think this is a great event anyhoo!
