Abstract
Data storage requirements are doubling every 18 months and the increase of
appetite for faster, bigger storage arrays are increasingly growing to keep up
with business needs. Digitalization of content, data protection, disaster
recovery and business continuity solutions, and long-term data retention,
continue to make positive contributions to storage capacity growth.
Content-rich business applications in areas such as telecommunications,
media/entertainment, and Web 2.0 are also driving storage capacity needs.
In addition, storage currently accounts for 37-40% of overall data center
energy usage from hardware. Thus, environmental concerns and corporate
sustainability requirements are driving demand for environment friendly
storage hardware.
