Gartner predicts storage spending slowdown
U.S. organizations plan to increase IT spending by 5.5% in 2006, but the focus is shifting away from storage and security, and toward application development and integration, according to preliminary results from a Gartner Inc. survey. Mobile devices will become a major purchasing priority and an increasing emphasis will also be placed on development tools and middleware, the firm said.

The largest budget increases are planned in the small and midsized businesses. Organizations with 20 to 99 employees plan to increase their IT budgets by 7% in 2006. Larger organizations, firms with 500 to 999 employees, plan IT budget increases of 2.4%, Gartner estimates.
