Most of our clients report that they can afford to buy storage, but they can't
manage it," said Nick Allen, vice president and research director for Gartner.
Gartner Group asked more than 1100 respondents globally about their 2007 budget
plans for storage hardware, software or services. "From 26 per cent to 37 per
cent planned to increase spending, depending on the category, over their 2006
budgets", Gartner analyst, Pushan Rinnen. "Fifty-five percent of the IT
managers surveyed said the biggest storage challenge was keeping up with
growing demand, estimating capacity needs would grow by an average 25 per cent
in one year and by 41 per cent in two years. Yet, little more than a third
expected budgets to increase to meet that demand.
