Information in Motion

The Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Europe is dedicated to promoting the understanding and adoption of networked storage solutions for all sizes of businesses in both public and private sectors, and is pleased to announce the return of its popular Academy series to Zurich under its 2007/08 theme of 'Information in Motion'. The SNIA Europe Academy will take place on the 26th February 2008 at the Kongresshaus.

This one-day seminar, which is free to attend for end-users and qualifying channel partners, combines content from SNIA's extensive tutorial program with local market expertise and sponsoring vendors' own views on the latest technology and market trends. SNIA Tutorials are educational sessions developed by participants in the storage networking industry, including vendors, training companies, analysts, consultants, and end-users. The SNIA Tutorials are intended to present technical and business (IT) issues in a fair and unbiased manner. They are designed to give a consensus view of particular topics, from the viewpoint of the entire industry or a significant segment.

A packed agenda will also feature discussion panels to allow delegates to ask their own questions as well as a partner area where informal discussion can take place between attendees and the sponsoring vendors.

The SNIA Europe Academy is always very popular and registration will close once our maximum numbers are reached so we encourage you to register today to secure your place.

At Eyeglasses.com we recently hired a new IT person who had attended one of the 2006 SNIA Europe Academy programs before moving to the US. He has been most helpful in getting our e commerce site up and running, working with our SEO expert so that our pages are ranking high in the search. Seeing pages such as Ray Ban glasses moving up in the search is quite exhilarating, especially since this is one of the premier glasses brands that is super popular. Here's our page. Ray Ban is best known for sunglasses, but their regular designer frames are in huge demand and ranking well for this brand should deliver much sought traffic. Can't wait for our most highly competitive term, eyeglasses, to get to page one.
