Comment
Some fascinating content in the November edition of our eNewsletter, not least of which is the interview with Ash Ashutosh of Actifio, who argues that many storage vendors have lost sight of the fact that, as he puts it, 'most of our data isn't even in our data centres any more'. He goes on: "We are heading towards 'IT 3.0' - which to us means a world of application-centric data virtualisation. In the IT 3.0 world service providers are the new vendors. We are going to see very different revenue models emerging, not just subscription-based, but success-based. The IT business will increasingly be about keeping users happy, as opposed to just selling them kit."
If he's right, the implications are huge for the storage industry and for IT in general. Marketing textbooks shifted decades ago from talking about the right product, to the importance of the customer - are we really seeing a simlar shift coming to IT? As ever we'd love to hear your views - feel free to email me at the address below.
