SNIA Tutorials

The backbone of SNW Europe and the co-located conferences are the series of vendor-neutral SNIA Tutorial sessions. They are intended to present technical and business (IT) issues in a fair and unbiased manner and are designed to give a consensus view of particular topics, from the viewpoint of the entire industry or a significant segment. The 2009 tutorial program covers the following topics.

	Virtualization		Security
	Data Protection		File Systems & Management
	Storage Management		Solid State Storage
	Networking
