Interop creates much needed excitment about the networking industry

Stuff goes here.

Another year and another Interop is over. Although the venue was smaller this year, the crowd was larger and that helped to infuse Interop 2005 with long-absent excitement about the networking industry. Below you will find late headlines from the show, as well as a link to a page on NetworkWorld.com where you can see all the headlines from the show.

As HP prepares for its StorageWorks user conference in Las Vegas next week, we bring you details of a slew of storage products that the company is expected to launch at the show. The announcement is tipped toEx be HP’s most important storage launch ever and signals that it is ready to erase its mistakes of the past.
