Capacity managed
Today Greene manages approximately 200TB of storage in two Los Angeles locations and a disaster recovery site in New Jersey. Our 2007 Salary Survey shows that salaries increase as the number of terabytes managed rises; for professionals managing less than 1TB, salaries average $50,667. Between 10TB and 99TB, salaries jump to $81,942. And the average salary for managing between 100TB and 500TB is $96,704. At the top of the terabyte range, IT professionals managing more than 500TB receive an average annual salary of $101,514 (see "Average salary by storage capacity managed," above).

Firms with more than $10 billion in revenue were those most likely to have dedicated storage groups. In 2006, 61% of super-sized firms in that sphere had dedicated storage teams; in 2007, 71% have them. In contrast, only 23% of 2007 respondent firms with less than $50 million in revenue have a dedicated storage group (see "Percent of companies with dedicated storage groups by company revenue," below).
