Symantec
Corp. released the findings of its 2010 State of the Data Center
study. The study found that mid-sized enterprises (2,000 to 9,999
employees) are more likely to adopt cutting-edge technologies such as
cloud computing, deduplication, replication, storage virtualization,
and continuous data protection than small or large enterprises to
reduce IT costs and manage increasing complexity. Further, mid-sized
enterprise data centers show more activity, with more IT managers
predicting major changes to the data center and new applications in
2010. Mid-sized enterprises also place a higher importance on
staffing and training than their small or large enterprise
counterparts. The study is based on surveys of 1,780 data center
managers in 26 countries in November 2009.
