Dear Greg,

We are writing to invite you to attend the 9th USENIX Conference on File
and Storage Technologies (FAST '11), February 15-17, 2011, in San Jose,
California.

File systems and storage continue to be active focus areas for
researchers and technologists in operating systems, computer
architecture, distributed systems, networking, mobile computing, and
computational science. FAST '11 will bring together file and storage
specialists from all of these areas in a unified, high-quality forum.

The FAST program again offers tutorials. Taking place on Tuesday,
February 15, the four all new half-day tutorials give you the opportunity to
learn from leaders in the storage industry:

* Storage in Virtual Environments
Mostafa Khalil, VMware

Beginning on Wednesday, February 16, the action-packed two-day technical program
includes 20 technical papers, Work-in-Progress reports (WiPs), and two poster sessions.

The papers describe outstanding work in the area, with topics including
flash storage, deduplication, specializing storage, scaling, and more.

The FAST technical program will also include a Work-in-Progress session
and two poster sessions to foster detailed technical interactions
between participants. Find out more at
