The event organisers say that this year's education and seminar programme has been revitalised with educational sessions from Amazon and Google, as well as a virtualisation showcase.
Other features at the event include cloud and information & content management zones, channel and launch areas, interactive workshops and several roundtable sessions.
The show and exhibition - including seminars and educational programmes - are free to attend.
The 2009 show is now in its ninth year and, in addition to more than 100 exhibitors, the education programme features over 60 experts on data storage and information management.
On the podium at Storage Expo 2009 will be Tony Lock, programme director with Freeform Dynamics, the IT research and analysis firm, who will be looking at the issue of `What to look for when buying virtualisation solutions: A top five questions 'checklist 'to ask your vendors.'
One of the most interesting items on the agenda, Infosecurity notes, is a presentation from Mr Xen Lategan, technical lead for Google's UK, Ireland and Benelux operations, who will be giving a keynote address at the event.
The theme of the Google expert's speech will be cloud computing, with which Mr Lategan is very familiar, having specialised in cloud and software-as-a-service technologies for several years.
Event spokesperson Neil Stinchcombe told Infosecurity that, with several major IT players, including Computer Associates, Novell and Unisys having announced plans for secure cloud services for companies in recent weeks, the topic of cloud computing is set to become even hotter on boardroom agendas in the months ahead.
"The advantages of cloud and SaaS technologies are now very clear - lower operating costs for most firms and access to company data on a near-anywhere, anytime basis - making for improved business efficiencies and, of course, and enhanced bottom line," he said.
According to Stinchcombe, plans call for Mr Lategan to explain why cloud values are critical to all businesses, especially in the current economic environment.
The Google cloud security expert will also be looking at how cloud computing can help organisations find, share and secure their company information.
