Storage purchase intentions rise with new techs in sight

The data provided by storage professionals on the annual Storage magazine/SearchStorage.com purchasing survey reflects the diversity and evolution of a dynamic storage marketplace. Over the past few years, we've seen new products, architectures and methodologies take hold, often overshadowing -- if not actually completely replacing -- more traditional offerings. This year, we combined our purchasing survey with a broader canvassing of storage buying intentions in the form of TechTarget Research's Storage Market Landscape survey. The results presented and analyzed here represent feedback from 740 survey respondents. Some highlights gleaned from this year's research include: Increased storage budgets Better management of capacity growth Growing interest and adoption of newer techs Continued dominance of established vendors Data protection remains a key focus for most storage shops, but spending plans are now looking at more modern data protection techniques and practices
