Disaster Recovery and Disk-Based Data Protection, Investments Made During Uncertain Times: IDC's Annual European Storage Survey, 2007

Product Type: Market Research Report
Published by: IDC
Published: February 2008
Product Code: R104-32972
Description

"IDC's survey of 500 European storage experts tells us quite a bit about the storage pain points and procurement intentions in the market," said Eric Sheppard, program manager for IDC's European Storage Program. "What we know from these surveys is that storage is often deployed sub-optimally and used relatively inefficiently. Suppliers and their partners should therefore be working to ensure that these companies understand how they can benefit from some of the more advanced storage features like data deduplication, or thin/dynamic provisioning while also demonstrating the benefits of utilizing advanced storage management software."
