WHAT THEY SAID ABOUT THE STORRIES II & III

"Just a quick note to say a big ‘Thank-You’ for an excellent evening, the whole event seemed to go off perfectly (from where I was sitting anyway). Our table thought Dominic Holland was a great choice for the evening, hilarious. The icing on the cake for NeoScale was obviously picking up the award for Encryption Product of the Year. I’m looking forward to passing on the good news to the whole NeoScale team; I know they’ll be so pleased to have won. " - Cliff Hutchings, European Sales, NeoScale Systems Inc

“Winning three Storries at one event was a fantastic thrill for us at StorageTek. The fact that the Storries are elected awards means that you can’t win without a broad consensus across the user community and the industry. So to win Storage Company of the Year, ILM Provider of the Year and Backup Hardware Product of the Year means that we have achieved a fantastically high level of acceptance as a company and as a solution provider.
The genuine enthusiasm of the Storage Magazine team means that there is a level of energy at the Storries that can be sadly lacking at other events. We certainly had a fantastic time on our table and, looking around, the rest of the industry was enjoying the party too.” - Linda Duffy, StorageTek, Marketing Director UK & Ireland .

"It is very rewarding to be awarded a Storrie for Best Software Archiving product and particularly as it is voted for by end user organisations. The Awards Ceremony was a great evening and an opportunity for us to catch up with friends and celebrate this great achievement." - Andrew Graham, CEO, Easy Software.

"We're proud to have won the award for Connectivity Product of the Year. Being recognised by the readership of Storage magazine - some of the most knowledgeable and demanding professionals in the industry - is a real honour.
The Storries are an important event in our calendar and a great opportunity to network with the key players in the storage industry. They're also one of the best nights out of the year!" - Paul Norbury, Sales Director EMEA for AMCC.

"Within the UK Data Storage industry, The Storries have established themselves as THE awards to win. Winning Storage Reseller of the Year for the second consecutive year helps NCE to endorse our message not only to our existing but also to new customers, that we are one of the leading specialists in the Data Storage field. It is in effect the icing on the cake. The evening itself was fantastic and was attended by all of the familiar names and faces within what is a very incestuous industry. The entertainment, food and venue were excellent - the only question remains, in view of it's sell out status this year, where are you going to fit even more people next year?!." - John Greenwood, Product Sales Director, NCE Europe.

The evening was extremely enjoyable and well organised with plenty of opportunity to network. I felt that this year there was a real sense of competition amongst the top players in the Storage Market and that the Storries will become an important date in the IT Calendar. The atmosphere was great and at some points during the Awards announcements I thought I must have been at Stamford Bridge !
From a Syncsort - Backup Express perspective, it is always satisfying to receive an award, which recognises the considerable efforts made to provide our customers with a full working solution to their problems and challenges. - Paul Terrell, (MD) Syncsort.

"Thanks very much for a great night last Thursday; it all seemed to run like clockwork and we had a fabulous time." - Grant Wilson, UK Channel Account Manager, Acal Storage Networking.

"Thank you for hosting THE awards evening of the year. You must be very proud of your achievement. The awards and the whole evening were a scream, I’ll definitely be back next year" - Karl Turner, (MD) Fusion.

"Thanks for a fabulous evening. I never thought Storage could be so amusing - an inspired choice in Dominic Holland!! The cheeky competitiveness made the award giving all the more enjoyable. I was disappointed not to win the champagne - must improve my knowledge of music for next year!" - Rebecca Gregory, Bamboo PR.

"The night was a success and a good time was had by all!" - Dee Brewer, Operations & Marketing Manager, JCOM UK Limited.

"The evening was great!" - Michael Tiplady, Marketing Director, Exabyte.

"An excellent evening, we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and managed to catch up with lots of old friends." - Paul Keeley, Regional Sales Manager, Cryoserver Ltd.

"We had a great night thank you despite not winning!" - Fiona Sinclair, Marketing Director, Posetiv.

"We had a terrific night and would like to thank the readers of Storage Magazine for making Nexsan a triple winner. We had a great evening and look forward to next years event. Well done on making it such an enjoyable evening". - Brendan Kinkade, Marketing Director, Nexsan Technologies.

"We all had a brilliant night at last year's Storage Awards, and I would like to thank the readership of Storage Magazine and our customers for voting us 'Distributor of the Year'. The entertainment was really good and it was a great opportunity to get together and have quite a few celebratory drinks!" - James Ward, Managing Director, Hammer PLC.
