Will Discuss Benefits and Advantages of Cloud Storage Services Versus Conventional Storage


HOUSTON, TX--(Marketwire - August 24, 2009) - Mezeo Software, the leading provider of deployable cloud storage solutions, today announced that Mezeo President and CEO Steve Lesem will participate in a panel discussion at the Hosting Transformation Summit North America. The panel, "Storage Opportunities: Cloud vs. Conventional," will explore the advantages of modern cloud storage over traditional SAN- and NAS-based storage.

"The cloud storage market is growing rapidly, and it is a significant opportunity for IT hosters and Managed Service Providers," Lesem said. "This group has very distinct needs based on their business models, and is looking for service-enabled solutions that provide differentiation versus the bulk storage solutions out there. I look forward to the discussion with my colleagues on the panel about the pros and cons of various approaches to cloud storage and best practices for service providers looking to monetize cloud storage services."
