Aims of DSNetUK
To promote and grow an inclusive
industrial-university network to determine
appropriate goals, aspirations and development
strategies for the UK's data storage research,
technology and manufacturing base.
Routes for the successful implementation of such
strategies will then be explored and put in
place. Likely to include
development of UK Data Storage 'Road Map' general
and topical meetings and workshops invited
addresses by world-leading (industrial) storage
experts staff exchanges joint funding bids
DSNetUK is funded by DTI as part of Link-ISD
programme 100k for 3 years starting April 1st
2004 - including matched funding from company
members UK and industrially focused
