Schooner Information Technology CEO to Discuss the DNA of Next-Generation Datacenters at O'Reilly Velocity Conference

WHO:    Dr. John Busch, co-founder and chief executive officer of Schooner
        Information Technology, Inc., a provider of data access
        appliances for information-intensive Web 2.0 and cloud computing
        datacenters. Prior to Schooner, Dr. Busch was research director of
        computer system architecture and analysis at Sun Microsystems
        laboratories from 1999 through 2006. He led research explorations
        in chip multiprocessing, advanced multi-tier clustered systems for
        deployment of Internet-based services and advanced high
        performance computing systems. Dr. Busch received the top
        President's Award for Innovation at Sun, and oversaw many division
        technology transfers.
WHAT:   Dr. Busch will discuss the growing challenges of today's Web and
        cloud computing datacenters that have reached a critical juncture as
        exploding demand for their services has collided with existing
        architectures and technologies. Schooner is one of the leading
        providers of data access technology, delivering powerful and proven
        datacenter solutions for rapidly-scaling Internet businesses.
        Schooner's next generation caching and database appliances
        compatibly deliver hundreds of thousands of transactions per second
        while cutting power and space requirements to one-eighth and the
        total cost of ownership by more than half.
WHEN:   Wednesday, June 24, 2009
        10:45 a.m. PDT
WHERE:  2009 O'Reilly Velocity Conference
        June 22 - 24, 2009
        The Fairmont Hotel
        Regency Ballroom
        San Jose, Calif.
WHY:    Today's datacenters are reeling from the high costs of power,
        capital equipment, network connectivity and space, and are hindered
        by serious performance, scalability and application complexity
        issues. Technology advances such as multi-core processors, flash
        memory, and low-latency interconnects, lose their potential as Web
        2.0 and cloud computing datacenters are challenged to fully optimize
        these new component technologies. Web 2.0 and cloud computing
        enterprises must focus all resources on their core business of
        providing leading-edge application services. Dr. John Busch will
        provide insight into why higher level building blocks are needed
        that can effectively exploit these advanced technologies, and how
        companies will be able to better solve the problems of power,
        performance, network connectivity, space and complexity.

Dr. John Busch will be available during the 2009 O'Reilly Velocity Conference for press interviews. To schedule a briefing or a teleconference before or after the event, please contact schooner@schwartz-pr.com, or visit Schooner's booth, #10, at the show.
