LOOKING TO THE LONG TERM

摘要

IT directors looking for an easy way to manage increasing volumes of data by buying more hardware could be storing up problems for the future. When it comes to tackling burgeoning storage volumes, most IT directors admit they tend to choose a short-term solution instead of a long-term strategy. In fact, 80% say they simply purchase additional hardware rather than investigate ways of getting more out of existing resources, according to a recent survey conducted by market research company Vanson Bourne. In the survey, commissioned by systems integration company Computer Systems and Finance, many IT directors admitted that plummeting hardware costs made buying extra storage seem like a "relatively pain-free" option.
