Business Wire, Sept 28, 1999

WALTHAM, Mass.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sept. 28, 1999--

StorageNetworks, Inc.(TM), the leading provider of enterprise storage services, today announced that Bruce Gordon, the company's director of strategic marketing, will participate in a panel discussion at the New World Data Center Conference, held October 4 - 5, 1999, in Boston, Mass. Please Note: This panel discussion, entitled "Re-Architecting Enterprise Storage for a New World: Heterogeneous SANs," will take place on Monday, October 4, 1999 from 5:10 p.m. - 6:00 p.m. at the Boston Park Plaza Hotel.

This panel will address how today's networking, storage, and software solutions have prompted the creation of storage-only networks, will explore the value proposition for storage area networks, and will offer recommendations on strategies for effectively utilizing SAN solutions. With over 15 years of experience specializing in storage subsystems and networks, Gordon will specifically address how companies no longer need to invest in capital-intensive storage devices because they can now connect their information systems demands to a virtual private network of storage resources, as a data storage utility. By choosing an outside storage service supplier, companies will be able to receive high availability, scalability, and disaster protection for their data storage needs, which will allow them to concentrate on their core competencies and higher-level business initiatives.

The New World Data Center Conference, sponsored by Ziff-Davis and ITCentrix, is a two-day conference created to help IT leaders transform their data centers by providing in-depth education and practical methodologies for addressing these critical business issues.
