Fred Moore
Web visionary and author of Storage SPECTRUM
Storage Spectrum
We are in the midst of a storage industry evolution. In the beginning, the primary value of the storage industry was in the hardware infrastructure. Today the value of the data is primary, and storing, retrieving and protecting data throughout its lifetime have become the most critical tasks. Fred Moore has spoken at every FORUM event since its inception in 1988, providing attendees with his annual state of the storage industry message. Mr. Moore's annual storage book is first released at FORUM and it has become a popular tradition to provide all FORUM attendees with the latest copy each year. This year's book, Storage SPECTRUM, provides insight and analysis into the latest emerging trends and the key developments in the storage industry, including hardware, software, security, data protection, data management, lifecycle management and future disruptive technologies that have the potential to change the rules.

He outlines what must happen to make IT truly matter to business.
