New York - June 15, 2009 - TheInfoPro, an independent research company for the IT industry, announced today that findings from its most recent Storage Study reflect that storage organizations have refocused their efforts on SRM technologies in lieu of purchasing new storage capacity as a result of budget freezes. Accordingly, storage professionals cite managing storage growth, proper capacity forecasting and storage reporting, and managing costs as top pain points for Fortune 1000 (F1000) storage organizations. Within MSE organizations, managing storage growth, managing costs, and proper forecasting and storage reporting are named as the top three pain points.
TheInfoPro's latest biannual storage study, based on in-depth interviews with 250 IT pros at F1000 and MSE organizations, outlines where storage departments within these organizations stand in terms of budgets, technology roadmaps and technology provider choices and ratings.
