The Simply StorageWorks Road Show will be held at the Intercontinental Hotel in Riyadh on Nov. 21 starting at 8:30 a.m. HP will be bringing its storage experts to the Kingdom to demonstrate to attendees at the event:
• How to protect data from user, software and hardware errors;
• That networked storage is affordable for any business;
• That companies don’t need full time storage experts on staff to deploy and maintain networked storage.
As part of the Simply StorageWorks initiative, this road show will enable companies to have an in-depth view of HP’s three comprehensive programs: My First SAN, Easy as NAS and Ultimate Business Protection.

Dr. Khaled Al-Daher, Microsoft Arabia GM, welcomed the new marketing manager saying, “Mustafa Younes is not a fresh comer to the GCC markets.
