If you were ever curious about how an industry standard is established, this is your opportunity to read the story straight from the people who define, develop and guide the standard through the process of finalization as an international standard. See the article, "How Does SAS Become a Standard."
Realizing a goal to publish more analyst articles this year, STA is again gratified to present another analyst article, this time from Enterprise Strategy Group (ESG). It is written by Mark Peters and Tony Palmer, storage experts of note. In it you will find a keen-eyed approach to market intelligence and much useful information for the 6Gb/s SAS product vendor.
Familiar columns include the "SAS Product Spotlight" feature, which gives the reader insight into STA members' new SAS products introduced since the last edition of SSW, plus "Community News," featuring STA member press release titles of new SAS products. We will continue to include member articles, case studies and guest analyst articles. Please share this edition of SSW with your colleagues and friends who do not receive Serial Storage Wire, and also pass along the website address - see link below - to sign-up, at no cost, for SSW. Your comments and suggestions are welcome. The final edition of SSW for 2009 will publish in November.
