Comment
Welcome to the July Storage magazine eNewsletter, which includes a thought-provoking piece of research from Fujitsu into how Finance Managers’ spending habits are changing as concerns rise about how unprecedented data growth is likely to translate into parallel growth in storage expenditure. Olivier Delachapelle of Fujitsu comments: "With nine in 10 senior finance professionals putting general future-proofing high on the agenda, the days are clearly numbered for the traditional scale up approach to storage."
It appears that finance professionals are acutely aware these days of the challenges of traditional disk and tape-based storage solutions, and express frustration at factors such as systems hitting an expandability wall, leading to investment requests coming out of the blue; the waste of equipment which prematurely reaches end-of-life, and the challenges associated with a high reliance on skilled staff. Our view here is that this is almost certainly a good thing for the sector – even if it might not feel like it right now!
