50% of UK IT Managers Must Be Crazy!
Posted on 22. Aug, 2007 by Stephen in Enterprise storage
OK, so let me get this straight. A recent study in the UK shows that 94% of IT managers in the UK regularly buy more storage than they need, 38% of all storage is unused, and 69% find storage management increasingly difficult. Yet only 44% feel that they shouldn’t have to do this? What’s wrong with the other half? Are they happy buying more storage than they need?
I know, it’s just a study, and studies are flawed. I’ve done enough myself to know that it is difficult to ask the right questions to get clear answers. I do question these results though. Especially the “38% unused” number – my own surveys revealed a much higher number than this. But I guess if storage management is increasingly difficult, it’s also just as difficult to get good utilization numbers…
