Editor’s LETTER
Welcome to a new look SNS-UK – still the same high quality content, but in a new design, and with new ideas and features to come, both in the magazine and with our electronic offering. The enterprise demands dynamic, responsive IT; and we’re planning to provide both our advertisers and readers with more dynamic, and responsive, publications to continue to make a significant contribution to the dialogue that takes place throughout the procurement cycle. Buzz topics covered in this issue include backup and recovery – it might be an industry ‘basic’ but it still continues to dominate many folks’ storage networking concerns; storage in the health sector – some fascinating case studies provide valuable insight into just how storage networking technology can help improve patient care; and, yes, Cloud. Happy reading.
Regularly updated Storage Networking news, white papers, case studies and industry initiatives can be found at the SNS UK website:
