2012 Call-for-papers

Hi and welcome to my first blog of 2012 and the announcement of our 'call-for-papers' for this year's editions of our well established and successful conferences- SNW Europe, Virtualization World and Datacenter Technologies - being held this year on the 30th and 31st October at Congress Frankfurt.

Our call for papers is aimed primarily at independent speakers from pprivate and/or public organisations reliant on IT to support their activities or speakers from independent analyst/consultant organisations involved in the specification and provision of advice on IT products and services.

Representatives of IT hardware/software/service vendors are welcome to submit papers, but only those that can be guaranteed to be wholly educational and informative for conference delegates - and not a veiled corporate/product presentation - will be considered. Vendors can of course secure guaranteed presentation slots through event sponsorships.

Under the overall umbrella theme of 'Powering the Cloud' we will be focusing on several key areas of IT infrastructure, including the following:

· Cloud Security

· BIG DATA

· Desktop/client Virtualisation

· Converged Infrastructures

· Net Generation Data Protection

· Solid State Storage

· Public/Private Cloud storage solutions

· Outsourcing, Hosting and co-location

· The delivery of managed services

· Data centre networking


So if you would like to share your experiences with a broad European audience and/or put across your point of view on a key industry trend or standard then please submit your ideas at http://poweringthecloud.com/call-for-papers today.
