As a co-founder of Chaparral Network Storage in January, 1998, I found attending the Network Storage 1998 conference to be invaluable for three reasons: (1) The conference provided a comprehensive review of all of the key trends and issues facing the storage industry, (2) participants included not only the leading storage companies in each area, but also a variety of
new companies with innovative approaches and technologies, and (3) The conference provided an excellent forum to "network" and accomplish key meetings with partners, vendors, and customers in a cost-effective and productive manner. Since then, I have become a regular attendee at each Network Storage conference and have found that the quality and format continued to improve. In today's environment that rewards and emphasizes cost-effectiveness and return on investment, I think the Network Storage Conference is an expenditure well-worthwhile.

"I attended a number of conferences in the past year that focused on network storage and the Network Storage Conference in Monterey proved to be the most valuable. The information shared at the conference from a broad cross section of both leaders and experts in the data storage industry was extremely informative. Hattras, as a strategic marketing company focused on the network data storage industry, views the conference as a useful gauge to verify the preferred technologies of today and hottest industry trends of tomorrow."
Deac Jones, President/CEO, Hattras, Inc.

"The Network Storage combines that always difficult balance of technical detail, management perspective, and reliable forecasting that I depend on in my work. I particularly appreciated the mix of real-world end-user experiences, the insight of the best and brightest the storage networking industry has to offer, and the analysis, editorial independence, integrity and tough questions that Peripheral Concepts puts to the storage providers. I came to NS2000 knowing that storage management was important; I left with solid answers, reliable information, and a road map to handle the ever-growing challenge of managing information storage in my enterprise."
Rick Bauer, Chief Information Officer, The Hill School
