Few challenges, if any, in the IT infrastructure rival the complexity associated with the storage infrastructure. Data-created content is ubiquitous, richly layered and immensely complex. Databases are now and will continue to be "open" 24x7. Local and global networks will continue to expand. A typical user will manipulate multiple kinds of business data at multiple locations using multiple devices. Within this global network, corporate and consumer data will be increasingly "mobile" and "accessible," complicating the storage landscape. And new regulations regarding the preservation and encryption of corporate data will serve to further complicate storage requirements in many commercial markets. What kinds of changes to your storage infrastructure are you planning to effectively service this enormous network? Let us know. And plan to attend the sessions in our Storage Track at the Gartner Data Center Conference – the most comprehensive coverage of storage at any Gartner event.
