AXEL LUEDECKE OF INFORTREND JOINS SNIA EUROPE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Infortrend Europe Seals its Commitment to the Development of the European Storage Market

Basingstoke, 29th November 2006–RAID storage expert Infortrend® today announced that Axel Luedecke, Director of Sales and Marketing for Germany, has joined the Board of Directors of SNIA Europe, the independent voice of the storage industry across EMEA. Luedecke, who has 29 year's experience in the IT industry, previously served on the board of the Fibre Channel Industry Association Europe and as chair of SNIA Europe's German End User Council. In his new role, which he will carry out alongside his position at Infortrend, Luedecke will work with the other Board Directors to help SNIA Europe promote the understanding and adoption of open storage solutions.

“I am excited to be once again part of the SNIA Europe team because the association, through initiatives such as the Academy and its work with other bodies such as the FCIA and TSANet, has a direct impact on end users' confidence in open, standards-based networked storage technologies and solutions,” said Axel Luedecke, Director of Sales and Marketing for Germany at Infortrend. “In just a few years SNIA Europe has made a tremendous difference to the industry thanks to its impartiality, expertise and openness.”

“Axel brings the Board of Directors a wealth of expertise not only in RAID and related technologies but in data storage and management overall,” said Juergen Arnold, Chairman at SNIA Europe. “While the association was born to focus on the storage of information, today we look at data storage within the bigger data management picture to help the IT community make the most of their entire technology infrastructure.”
