Press Release
Ratingen, February 28, 2006 – Syncsort is proud to have joined the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) Europe as a full voting member. The SNIA members are dedicated to "ensuring that storage networks become complete and trusted solutions across the IT community." Syncsort's membership illustrates the company's commitment to helping drive the industry toward open and co-operative solutions in storage networks. The dedication and hard work of hundreds of SNIA member volunteers are what enable the association to achieve its goals.
"Backup solutions should support several platforms in order to satisfy the high requirements of the increasingly heterogeneous and distributed IT world," explains Bernhard Loskamp, Country Manager of Syncsort GmbH. "We are eager to share the knowledge we have gained through our experience with Backup Express. The exchange of such knowledge not only benefits the members of SNIA but is vital in the process to successfully achieve the association's goals."
To achieve its aims, SNIA Europe coordinates different activities at European and Federal State level. In Europe, Africa and the Middle East, SNIA Europe offers a central source of independent information about storage networking and belonging technologies. For instance, SNIA Europe supports the only independent event in the storage area, the Storage Networking World Europe (SNW Europe); works closely together with the leading storage magazine, Storage Networking Solutions Europe (SNS Europe); and offers its members numerous tutorials and certifications. The Association is non-profit, multi-vendor and is controlled by its members. Syncsort is already a voting member of SNIA in the United States.
