28 Zycko 36 Juniper Editor’s LETTER Dear reader,


When SNS Europe was launched some seven years ago, storage networking was a young technology, and the magazine fulfilled a valuable role in educating IT professionals across Europe as to the importance of ensuring that data backup and recovery received the attention they deserved. As the IT landscape has evolved, storage networks continue to be important, but have become a part of the wider data centre focus – with convergence, virtualisation and


The Cloud very much part of the agenda. To reflect this change, at the same time as recognising the continuing need for dedicated storage information, the SNS Europe magazine is to become a part of our flagship IT publication: Data Centre Solutions (DCS), with dedicated SNS supplements published four times a year, and with the highly regarded SNS website and email newsletter (with a 40,000 subscriber base) remaining unaffected.


In summary, you will now receive 10 issues of DCS per year (including plenty of storage coverage!), 4 dedicated SNS supplements – the first of these published next month, and focusing on SSDs – and continue to received the weekly email newsletter, and have access to the SNS website.


We believe that the changes outlined above will ensure that the Angel Business Communications’ paper-based and electronic IT publication portfolio continues to lead the way, and hope that you will continue to enjoy the fruits of our labours!
