Preparing for Data Storage Growth Demands

The economic recovery means enterprises large and small must begin to plan for growth. To do this, Processor.com recommends that enterprises establish a storage capacity baseline, which, combined with a forecast for future growth, will help identify gaps and the technologies needed to close them.

"Enterprises must carefully think about the storage options that will enable them to accommodate ever increasing data storage requirements. Strategies must be developed that not only take into account growth but also the rate of growth and the predictability—or unpredictability—of that growth. The fact that the recovery is beginning to pick up steam is encouraging; companies that likewise want to pick up steam must evaluate growth strategies for their enterprise storage systems. "
