Raanana, Israel, and Paris – June 4, 2008 – Jeronimo Munoz, Regional Vice President, Southern Europe, of Exanet will address the ITI Forums from 15:10-15:30 on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, at the Hotel Meridien, room C, in Paris.

“My talk will focus on several key economic dilemmas confronting IT professionals when upgrading storage,” states Munoz. “They need to not only increase the overall return on their new technology but also leverage their existing systems to create the most efficient, cost-effective solutions,” says Munoz.

He will cover four specific storage issues during his talk:

* Creating a sustainable and cost-effective storage environment given that not all variables are predictable at the time of purchase * Developing storage capacity and performance without disrupting the existing system
* Reducing the cost of acquisition and increasing the ROI of centralized storage
* Negotiating among manufacturers while keeping your suppliers of choice.

Exanet’s own ExaStore Clustered NAS System revolutionizes storage with technical solutions to these economic challenges. ExaStore offers petabytes of scalability, a plug-and-play design, load balancing, and a single file system, all working together to maximize storage utilization and minimize the total cost of ownership.

ExaStore dovetails these economic benefits with a “green advantage” by maximizing hardware utilization and reducing power consumption, footprint requirements, and personhours.

Munoz will use real-life examples of companies, such as Mikros Image and TF1, who have confronted and solved the challenges facing them with regard to the economics of storage.

“Multimedia files used to be an issue only for specialized environments like media & entertainment,” Munoz explains further. “Now, storage of large files consisting of video, images, text, and related databases is an enterprise issue as well. I plan to demonstrate how the basic economic principles of storage developed within the media & entertainment industry can be implemented across storage facilities in every environment.”
