As a member of the four-panel discussion moderated by Forrester Research Principal analyst Andrew Reichman, Gladwin will discuss the growing need for object-based storage solutions that  address the storage industry's massive data needs while allowing for availability, security and scalability. Cleversafe has been a pioneering company in leveraging object based storage and Information Dispersal Algorithms (IDA) to offer a reliable cloud storage platform that can scale to exabytes and beyond for companies managing Big Data. The panel will also feature executives from Rackspace, Caringo and Scality.

"The amount of data being stored today is growing at a rate of 30-to 40 percent annually, and is being fueled by the explosion of smartphones and other devices that use the Internet to access and store big chunks of data like pictures, music and video," said Chris Gladwin, CEO and president of Cleversafe. "Object based storage has proven to be a reliable platform because it allows companies to limitlessly scale their systems."  

The one-hour panel will take place Thursday, Sept. 15, 2011, at 9:00am PT.

Additionally, Cleversafe is nominated as a "Best Disruptive Technology" for The ExecEvent's Execullence Awards, which recognize outstanding technology companies.
