Storage Strategies NOW


"Deni Connor's extensive background spans multiple IT disciplines and enables her to provide actionable feedback and thorough analyses which benefits QLogic, our global channel partners and our customers. I highly recommend SSG-NOW as a cost-effective IT consultancy that delivers high impact results."

Steve Zivanic,
Senior Director, QLogic

"Deni is fearless. As a reporter she never failed to objectively cover the prickliest of issues. As an analyst, we expect her to be one of the best."

John Dix, editor in chief of Network World

"SSG-NOW provides deep market knowledge coupled with a strategic, yet pragmatic approach. Deni's technology understanding is well matched with the skepticism of a former reporter - she drills down to relevant questions and quickly assesses the viability of a strategy or technology from an end-user's perspective."

Ursula Talley, vice president of marketing, StoredIQ

"Storage Strategies NOW analysts are experts in data center and storage/server issues, always providing deep technology experience and objective, practical and timely analysis of products, technologies and industry direction."

Jay Kramer, vice president of worldwide marketing, SEPATON
