London, UK: 3 October 2012 – IT solutions reseller Solid State Solutions (S3) will demo an entire IT virtualized ecosystem at IP EXPO on 17 and 18 October.


IP EXPO
As part of its bid to target virtualization and the cloud, S3 will give away iPod nanos to delegates who pre-register and attend a 30-minute demonstration of the live virtualized ecosystem during the two-day event at London's Earls Court 2. Spaces are limited to just 20 and can be booked by emailing [email protected].

The ecosystem will show applications running on virtualized servers, featuring VM-Aware storage from Tintri as well as Nexsan.  Xsigo, the market leader in virtual I/0 will provide the 'Datacentre Fabric'. The ecosystem will be managed and protected by VEEAM.

S3 has dubbed its vision of expanding virtualization beyond just hypervisors and servers as "Virtualization 3.0". S3 Head of Business Development, Gurdip Kalley, said: "As the UK's fastest growing data storage management reseller, we are going back to what we believe is core to the data centre - virtualization.

"Virtualization 3.0, the virtualization of all aspects of the data centre, rather than just compute, will create the foundation for the cloud model of computing. Achieving this requires a holistic approach to virtualization and ongoing management in order to create a unified, dynamic and agile next-generation computing environment."

On its stand D20 at IP EXPO, S3 will also showcase a storage solution called Oxygen Cloud, effectively an enterprise Dropbox application allowing anywhere, anytime access to corporate data to any device using an enterprise application. As part of its partnership with the storage reseller, S3 will give away free Oxygen accounts on the day.

IP EXPO, the UK’s number one IT infrastructure event, will showcase the latest solutions for IP Networks, Wireless, Storage, Virtualization, Cloud Computing and Security. Virtualization will play a key role in this year’s show alongside cloud security, BYOD, and Big Data as IT departments continue to grow and change.

Users can now download the new MY VISIT mobile app free to access IP EXPO content on the move at and ahead of the event.  Available for Android and iPhone, the app contains IP EXPO news together with exhibitor and seminar information so delegates can plan their visit and make the most of their time at the event.
