Who are the visitors
When we consult the current list of subscribed visitors receiving daily our newsletter by email – currently 30,964 – they are, of course, hardware manufacturers and software publishers, but the bulk of them are from the channel (integrators, VARs, VADs, resellers, distributors, ISVs, etc). These guys need to know regularly what’s happening in the worldwide storage industry, to get more information more about their suppliers, new ones, new storage concepts – generally coming from start-ups -, and products to orientate their strategy.

There are few end users, but big ones. When a small company wants to update its storage infrastructure, it needs information and look at our web site. But, when the system is finally installed, they don’t need to follow daily the storage market. In the world, only big companies have people full-time involved in storage. In smaller ones, it’s generally the IT or network manager.

We thank all of our subscribers for their loyalty.

StorageNewsletter.com got a total of 194 different storage companies as advertisers, for banners or email blasts, since inception of this offering in 2010. The first one was Druva, the latest one being Open-E. Thanks also to all of them.
