Unlocking the Minds of Storage Users

Free! Registration is required.
IDC's new Storage User Demand Study (SUDS) specifically analyzes the various ways end users deploy storage systems they purchased, what applications they support with these systems, and what kind of data they store now and plan to store in the future.

As end-user business needs continue to evolve, the enterprise storage systems market also continues to be dynamic with new technologies emerging and new data use cases dictating requirements for the next-generation storage systems and storage delivery models.

The study surveys end users to chart emerging trends and to capture end-user acceptance of emerging technologies and market offerings. Read the study to learn why:

• Many users already leverage third-party storage capacity (outsourced storage).
• There is a large interest in Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), but there is very minimal commitment.
• Midrange or modular storage systems are the most favored storage systems among all users for all types of data and use cases.
• Over the next 12 months, end users are not likely to change the way they deploy, attach, and use storage systems dramatically.
