SANTA CLARA, CA--(Marketwire - Aug 30, 2011) - The ExecEvent, a unique technology networking and business development-only event, today announced that the "must see" panel of the upcoming Virtualization & Cloud event at the Network Meeting Center in Santa Clara, Calif., is the Disruptive Technologies panel that features CEOs of six leading companies speaking on how their innovative technology disruptively impacts the marketplace -- an educational opportunity that serves as a cornerstone for the three-day conference.

Moderated by Henry Baltazar of the 451 Group, the Disruptive Technologies panel is scheduled for 3:45 p.m. September 15. It features executives from companies considered truly disruptive to the marketplace, whether from a unique sales model, innovative pricing structure or a twist on technology. Each company will have a few minutes to describe what they do and why it is disruptive with a Q&A to follow. Participating in the panel are:

  • Avere Systems / Dale Lafferty - Dir. Strategic Alliances
  • Caringo / Mark Goros - CEO
  • Coraid / Kevin Brown - CEO
  • GridStore / Kelly Murphy - CEO
  • IO Turbine / Rich Boberg - CEO
  • Permabit / Tom Cook - CEO

"The growing need for cloud and virtualization architectures is creating challenges that are opening up opportunities for a new generation of vendors to provide disruption, which is what an event like the ExecEvent is all about," said Baltazar. "We have gathered a group of storage innovators who have the potential to reshape how we utilize key technologies such as flash and also provide innovative architectures for cloud storage and long term data retention -- and to keep things interesting we will be opening up questioning by the audience to challenge our participants and make sure this is a not-to-be-missed panel."

The ExecEvent is focused on the "hottest" new technologies with the highest visibility and potential for revenues, including cloud, virtualization, object-based storage and solid state.
