Oct 20, 2006 : TheInfoPro Releases Networking Report

📅 - IT independent research network TheInfoPro (http://www.theinfopro.net) announced this week it has released its Wave 8 Storage Networking Fortune 1000 report.


The study revealed the average installed capacity in Fortune 1000 organizations has increased from 198 TB in early 2005 to 680 TB in October 2006. The results are derived from 154 hour-long interviews with TheInfoPro's peer network of pre-screened Fortune 1000 storage professionals who provide expert commentary for TIP's storage studies.

"For the last four waves of research, installed storage capacity in the Fortune 1000 has doubled every 10 months," says Robert Stevenson, managing director of TheInfoPro's storage sector. "It is an astonishing rate, with staffing and backup administration struggling to keep up."

The percentage of the Fortune 1000 data center budget dedicated to storage has also seen a significant boost. According to the most recent research report, nearly 50 percent of the Fortune 1000 organizations interviewed said that storage makes up for more than 15 percent of their data center budget, with consolidation and virtualization strategies listed as other top cost-saving storage initiatives among the Fortune 1000.
