A survey of 875 organisations by Storage Expo has found that the main driver of their current storage policy is storage effectiveness (60%) necessitated by the need for reliability, scalability and access speed. The second most important driver was Storage efficiency (33%) resulting from the need to cope with cost vs. capability. The least popular drivers were Green criteria (7%).
Jon Collins, Service Director, Freeform Dynamics commented, “This is quite fascinating, and confirms a trend that we have seen in other studies: that organisations are prioritizing effectiveness over efficiency when it comes to setting policy and making purchasing decisions.”
With data storage volumes still growing at over 50% per annum, the need for effective and efficient Storage architecture has never been greater. In keeping with the current demands Storage Expo 2008 brings together an exciting and informative portfolio of Storage seminars that† take an in-depth look at some of the latest trends in data storage and information management today.
