SANTA CLARA, Calif., Oct. 10, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Open Server Summit, a leading Silicon Valley conference for the server industry taking place October 22-24 at the Santa Clara Convention Center, is delighted to announce that Tarkan Maner of Nexenta will be its leadoff keynoter. His presentation, entitled "Trillions of Objects, More Petabytes Every Day", will focus on the tremendous storage demands raised by big data, megawebsites, mobile access, cloud computing, and real-time analysis.

He brings over 20 years of experience working with disruptive and revolutionary technology solutions that lead to better living in a better world.

He has also been VP/GM of Dell Cloud Client Computing and a senior executive at CA, IBM, Sterling Commerce, and Sterling Software.

He has served on the boards of the Bay Area Council, World Economic Forum's Cyber-Security Alliance, Silicon Valley Education Foundation, and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, a coalition of senior Silicon Valley executives aimed at improving the quality of life for all citizens of the region and the world.
