Full Summary:

2010 has been a time of unprecedented change. As server and storage virtualization deployments advance, virtual desktop implementations in the thousands of units are also added to the IT agenda. And while it’s become an old storage industry saw, capacity growth continues unabated. In spite of widespread acceptance of facilities like data compression, deduplication, and thin provisioning, we observe that the growth in capacity can exceed a 100 percent annual growth rate.

Enterprise IT organizations are responding to this period of change in a number of ways. One is to look at the IT organization itself with an eye to breaking down the traditional, siloed structure that segregates expertise into server, storage, and network management groups, while converging these groups into an infrastructure management team. Another is to re-architect the data center for anticipated growth and increased efficiency.
