The launch of HP Data Protector software 6.1 and especially its new capabilities around VMware protection have spurred lots of interest among both customers and HP partners. And there is a good reason for it: the complexity around data protection in the virtual server environments is not easing up while the current economic pressures are forcing the customers to be more selective and budget conscious. All of these play into the strengths of HP Data Protector software - the product always known for its affordability and now offering the most complete and easy-to-use VMware protection in the industry.

To offer customers and partners the opportunity to better understand the challenges of data protection in the current environment and the solutions available to solve them, we are organizing an interactive virtual trade show, in collaboration with VMware and HP StorageWorks division. 

The virtual trade show opens with two live events hosted by experts from HP and VMware:

·         In Americas on March 31st, 2009 from 9:00 am - 7 pm EST

·         In EMEA on April 1st, 2009 from 12:00 - 19:00 CET

On those two days, you will have a chance to have online chats and one-to-one discussions with HP and VMware experts, and also: 

* Listen to the keynote address by the independent analyst group, Forrester Research
* Tour the booths to learn about the latest in HP Data Protector, HP StorageWorks and VMware solutions
* Take part in technical tutorials that focus on Data Protector 6.1 implementation and various integrations
* Collect brochures, white papers and customer case studies
 

All trade show content will remain available on-demand until April 30th, 2009.
