Hi Guys,
Thanks for the opportunity to speak to your group.  I hope they learned a
bit,  ate a bit,  were entertained a bit,  and liked the trinkets!  All
kidding aside,  I was impressed with your group's turn out as well as their
technical abilities (got a lot of good questions)  and willingness to look
at new interesting technologies.  I would appreciate it if you would forward
them this personal thank you for attending my session.  I have included some
good links below my signature and if anyone has any questions (or would like
to buy my solution!!!)  they are welcome to e-mail or call me at any time.
 
Thanks again!
Sincerely,
Kelley Osburn

Thanks for your interest in LeftHand Networks. The LeftHand SAN gives you
the power of a storage area network, combined with the simplicity of
Ethernet.  Click here to view the IP SAN Flash Demo.   Before viewing the
demo, please make sure sound is enabled on your PC. 

Our IP SAN solution offers all the benefits of storage area networks without
the complexity:

A combined software and hardware platform that installs right on your
existing Ethernet network -- there's no learning curve, no expensive Fibre
Channel SAN components to purchase, and no complex environment to manage. 

Virtualization software that makes all the hardware modules appear as a
single, centralized pool of storage -- you manage one pool instead of the
storage associated with each server. Each server is assigned a volume carved
out from the storage pool; the volume can be expanded dynamically on the
fly. There's also no downtime to add storage capacity. 

Support for sophisticated yet simple to manage features such as replication,
snapshot, and failover -- you can implement sound disaster recovery plans or
simplify your backup scenario. 

Learn more about our San/iQ Distributed Storage Matrix software and Network
Storage Module hardware on our web site.



We'd like to show you how you can take advantage of LeftHand Networks'
compelling IP SAN technology to address your storage needs for Microsoft
Exchange, Microsoft SQL Server, and file sharing applications. We can help
you with server consolidation, local and geographic disaster recovery, and
disk-to-disk backup projects.
