Companies are pondering SAN extension choices, but they're not rushing their decisions. In the "Byte and Switch Storage User Survey," the January 2004 report from the Byte and Switch Insider, this publication's paid subscription research service, a majority of respondents indicated they are not using SAN extension services now.
Still, the uptick in IT spending could help get many off the dime, motivated by the need for better disaster recovery and improved storage efficiency (see 2004: Top Ten Trends to Watch ). In the January 2004 Byte and Switch Poll, 44 percent of 63 respondents said prospects for the market in SAN extension equipment will see moderate to strong growth in 2003.
