Who:  Alex Bouzari, CEO of DataDirect Networks, Inc., the data infrastructure provider for the most extreme, content-intensive environments in the world—including the largest online gaming sites, social networking applications developers and photo and video sharing services.

What:  Bouzari will present at the 36th Annual JPMorgan Technology Conference, which hosts more CEOs than any other technology investor conference in existence today. Bouzari will discuss how explosive growth in next-generation digital content—such as video-on-demand, Web 2.0 environments, digital broadcasting and post production and digital video surveillance—is creating explosive demand for the next-generation of data storage. Bouzari will discuss how monolithic, cache-centric storage architectures are not designed for the content explosion taking place today—an explosion which requires real-time, purpose-built platforms designed for massive throughput and scalable capacity. Bouzari will highlight the types of next generation storage platforms required to support the consistent, massive streams of large image files and unstructured data driving the content explosion and how such platforms enable users to thrive in their extremely competitive markets.

When:  Tuesday, May 20 at 9:20 a.m. Eastern Time.

Where:  Westin Boston Waterfront   Boston, MA (Advance registration with JP Morgan is required)
