BE Where Digital Storage Converges with Content Creation and Delivery!

JOIN CEO’s, Industry Leaders, manufacturers and end users at Storage Visions 2013!

FIND HOW Digital Content will be Created, Protected and Stored from the executives, analysts and professionals at the forefront of Digital Technology!

SV 2013 explores the convergent needs of digital storage to support cloud content distribution and sharing, user generated content capture and use and professional media and entertainment applications.

Digital media size and bandwidth requirements are exploding with the use of higher resolution and stereoscopic content. 8K content capture projects such as the 2012 Summer Olympics point to the future of content capture and distribution. The growth in the size of digital media projects and the bandwidth requirements for content capture, post-production and delivery are increasing the use of fast storage technologies such as flash memory. At the same time the increase in the total volume of rich media content is driving demand for hard disk drives, optical discs and magnetic tapes used for near-line as well as archive media applications.

Mobile devices are driving the use of digital content and the growth of content, both commercial and personal, in the cloud. Storage systems for rich media are developing capabilities to support the growing traffic of content. Social networks as well as over the top video are expanding the options and capabilities to have access to all content, anywhere, at any time. These developments enable collaborative workflows as well as multiple format experiences on a variety of viewing devices. All elements of the digital media value chain are driving the next generation of storage. With the increase in the size of projects and the demand for performance we can truly say, “Petabytes are the new terabytes.”

What industry leaders say...

"It was well executed with cutting edge presentations from industry leaders." Andy Higginbotham, President, PriceG2, Inc.

“I get more information from the real movers and shakers at Storage Visions than I get at the whole CES. It's like a private seminar because of the people and the size.” Charles Azar, Instant Replay

“"Storage Visions is the focal point for all storage technologies. Leading manufacturers and users of all storage types - magnetic and optical disk, tape, flash, and other special storage technologies - come together every year to share new products and new approaches to using that technology. It's always an eye-opening experience." Jim Handy, Principal Analyst, Objective Analysis

“The Storage Visions Conference is an excellent place to find out about the use of digital storage for the professional media and entertainment market including content creation and distribution as well as its use in consumer products.” Tom Inglefield, Director Product Marketing, Media and Entertainment, Oracle

"Storage Visions was honestly one of the most well put together conferences I have attended both from a technology and networking point of view. Truly a rare combination. All of the panels were incredibly relevant and in some cases eye opening. I loved all the different views people brought to the table regarding the direction of the industry."--Scott Holewinski, Gillware

"Storage Visions brought together key decision makers in storage, computing and IT and offered a number of valuable and timely presentations. Armed with knowledge from the sessions and the many great demo's and exhibits, attendees can return to their organizations to investigate and deploy effective storage solutions."
— Brian Berger, Chair, Trusted Computing Group, Marketing Work Group and Executive Vice President, Wave Systems.

“Across the show floor, attendees can see the increasing array of consumer electronics products that incorporate digital storage. Storage Visions will help our attendees and the consumer electronics industry at large better understand and take advantage of this trend and the overall content value chain.”
