Abstract
This IDC study evaluates today' s tiered storage environment. What is
the state of tiered storage? How is this technology evolving?
What do the solutions look like today? And how are
future requirements shaping the tiered storage solutions of tomorrow? This
document answers these questions and considers whether or not the
industry has "tiers of joy" or "tears of despair."
"Today' s economics,
a growing diversity of data types, and the desire to
manage an increasing amount of data more efficiently are driving
IT managers to evaluate more sophisticated and efficient storage solution
technologies. A key technology that is destined to assist in
this endeavor is tiered storage." — David Reinsel, group vice
president, Storage and Semiconductor research
