StorageNewsletter.com From 12 to 19 Headings
For better understanding
By Jean Jacques Maleval | June 13, 2011 at 3:14 pmThis web site, StorageNewsLetter.com, was first introduced in November 2007, and we have published more than 18,000 news.
Since June 6, 2011, we have modified the headings used to classify all this information for better understanding and to be more specific.
StorageNewsLetter.com has changed from 12 to 19 headings (published on the left side of each pages). By clicking on one of this heading, you will find its definition and then all the corresponding news classified by date.
The main one was the "Business" heading,
too large, now divided in six headings:
- M&A,
- Start-Up,
- Financial Result,
- OEM/Channel/Distribution
- Customer’s Win, and
- Business (others).
From now for example, you will get directly all the news on start-ups only, or just the fiscal results of storage companies by clicking on their unique heading.
New headings also added are:
- Market Report/Research
- Cloud, Online Backup/Cloud, SSP, MSP
These changes are operating since June 6, 2011. The former news continue to be classified under the older classification.
