“이런 추세가 투자 효율화를 달성하기 때문에 가상화 기술이 구매자가 가장 주요하게 생각하는기술분야로 향후 5년간 시장을 주도할 것입니다.
이번 조사에 따르면 69%의 IT 의사결정자들이 이런 관점을 강조 하고 있습니다. 가상화는 많은 인프라를 투자 하지 않고서도 IT부문의 주요한 선결 과제를 해결해 줄 수 있습니다. “

금번 450명의 IT 전문가를 대상으로 한 조사에 따르면, 26 부문의 IT 기술 부문에서 스토리지 만 유일 하게 조금이나마 성장 (1% 이하) 하는 부문으로 조사 되었으며, 다른 하드웨어 부문은 2~3% 마이너스 성장 하는 걸로 나타났습니다.
특히 예산 축소에 따른 IT 조직의 금년 목표는 기존 자산에 대한 효율적 사용에 촛점이 맞춰 질 수 밖에 없기 때문에 가상화 부문이 업계에 영향을 주는 가장 강력한 부문으로 주목 받게 될 것입다.

http://www.snseurope.com/snslink/news/news-readfull.php?newsid=11195A new study covering planned expenditures across 26 technology categories including hardware, software and services, shows storage as the only category poised for overall growth in 2009. In addition, virtualization emerged as the key trend impacting the industry, as organizations focus on achieving IT goals through squeezing efficiencies from reduced budgets. The survey, conducted among 450 IT professionals in the U.S. and UK was a collaborative effort between Millward Brown, Research International, and Lightspeed Research to leverage the perspectives of LinkedIn members via the LinkedIn Research Network. While overall spending on Storage was only expected to increase by a marginal amount (less then 1%), this is in stark contrast to other hardware categories which showed declines between 2-3%. Steve Ingledew, Managing Director of Millward Brown's Technology Practice observed, "In times of recession, there is a heightened need to protect what you have and in many ways, storage is to technology what insurance is to financial services; with data increasing exponentially and with the appetite for risk low, this is an area in which you simply don't want to compromise."When asked about the key challenges facing them in the coming year, technology decision makers cited "meeting the same or similar objectives with lower IT budgets," with 55% and 63% of mid-market and enterprise decision makers respectively stating this. To address these challenges, some 84% of enterprise and 77% of mid-market organizations stated the most important area requiring support from Technology providers was "achieving cost efficiencies from our existing IT environment." "With this focus on achieving cost efficiencies, it's perhaps not surprising that virtualization dominates buyers thinking as the top trend impacting the technology industry over the next 5 years, with 69% of enterprise IT decision makers reinforcing this view. Virtualization can enable an organization to meet key IT initiatives without the need for significant infrastructure investment" concludes Ingledew.
