Storage Networking World originally from United States is a grand gathering in the storage industry. The event attracts various elites of the industry and displays the latest technologies and products in the storage field. More importantly, end-users from various industries who have very high demands for storage and researchers and technologists are attracted to this event. Since year 2005, China Computerworld has cooperated with SNIA to introduce the influential and important event into China and made great success during the past three years. More than 1000 attendees took part in the event each year and over 50 professional presses reported the event. The event received highly recognition and good comments and bridged users with vendors for communication in the industry.

Today, the development of storage market in China is entering into a new phase of practical application instead of learning or pursuing emerging technologies in the past years. More and more end users turn to accept and pay more attention to the idea of data protection and data management. The storage system has been required by users in the information system architecture, and with larger proportion of procurement system. Some of enterprises even separated procurement of storage system from servers, which reflects that users increasingly attached more importance to the storage system.

It is anticipated that in 2008 Storage will be becoming a separate professional issue due to the development of emerging technology and fast growing of enterprise data capacity The storage will be managed as a separate project in the enterprise, and the special storage technique procurement will become more generally. The continuous growth of data storage highly requires the development of storage market. Additionally, some emerging technologies such like virtualization, green storage pushed its application and data construction (including Disaster Recovery Centre). Furthermore, the increased demands from some small and medium enterprises also bring energies to the China's storage market, which promotes the rapid progress of China's storage industry.

SNW 2008 will be entitled as Managing Information through the Storage Infrastructure, bringing the latest development trends of storage technology and innovative techniques and products. The event will provide network storage infrastructure and solutions to some industries including finance, telecommunication, government agencies, manufacturing, healthcare, energy source, education etc, as well as data management and data protection for enterprise data. All the attendees can learn the valuable information through the conference along with exhibition and onsite demonstrating, and take the lead to learn the trends of storage technologies.
