In addition, Active Storage, DataDirect Networks, Flexstar, For-A, MemoRight, Oracle and Recycle Your Media join SV 2012 as sponsors and exhibitors.

Rob Crooke is Corporate Vice President and General Manager, Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) Solutions Group, at Intel. His keynote talk, given at 9:30 AM on Monday, January 9, 2012 is titled: "IT Heroes: Solving today's and tomorrow's problems with non-volatile memory." Rob's talk looks at the role of solid state drives, a topic vital to the SV 2012 conference theme of "Heavy Storage for Thin Clients."

Rob's abstract says "From the enthusiast to corporate IT to the datacenter, the argument for solid state drives has never been more clearly defined than it is today. But is it to everyone? Who can benefit from deploying solutions and how can it be measured? Differentiated in responsiveness, reliability, performance, endurance, efficiency, and total cost of ownership, the solutions today are enabling solid state drives to revolutionize the storage business and deliver solutions across the compute continuum. Come hear Crooke talk about these challenges and solutions that can help make you an IT hero."
