In storage trends that will gain momentum in 2010 are virtualization, de-duplication and the introduction of energy-effcient features. Deduplication will gain prominence as a feature, rather than a standalone technology. Majority of enterprises still have not deployed de-duplication, but will leverage easier deployments next year as it becomes built into most storage offerings – everything from back-up software, to primary storage, to replication and archiving software.
As more enterprises reap the benefits of de-duplication and the gap it bridges with information management, the primary issue will become management of storage resources. As a result, enterprises will look to vendors to deploy simplifed and cross-platform de-duplication management that save time and money. In 2009, organizations began to shift from implementing ‘green’ technologies primarily for cost reduction purposes, to a more balanced awareness, of also improving the organization’s environmental standing. In 2010, these two drivers will push most enterprise organizations to implement a ‘green’ strategy. IT decision makers are increasingly justifying green IT solutions by more than cost and IT effciency benefts.
