Storage Management Strategies for the CIOWhat storage managers are buying
This is the ninth year of our exclusive Storage Purchasing Intentions Survey that asks data storage managers how they plan to spend their budgets, the technologies they’re implementing or evaluating, and other initiatives and issues under consideration. We analyze the current results and compare them to past data to determine emerging storage buying trends.
Storage networking decisions
We’ll take a look at some of the storage networking technologies that are likely to have the most impact in current and future data centers. We’ll consider how FCoE will fit in, if Fibre Channel is really dead, how Ethernet is poised to dominate and whether new techs like virtual I/O are really ready.
The state of solid-state
Solid-state storage has carved out a fairly specialized and still rather small niche in the storage ecosystem, but it has certainly established itself as a viable alternative. We’ll look at what technologies are working now, the most popular, and effective, implementations of solid-state technology, and what to expect both near-term and further down the road.
And don’t miss our monthly columns and commentary, or the results of our Snapshot reader survey.
