Symantec's annual data center survey, released Monday, found security and data protection to be top enterprise needs. Clouds were at the bottom of the list. Enterprise Storage Forum reports. For a different perspective, check out this week's Virtually Speaking on ServerWatch.
Security, backup and recovery, and continuous data protection (CDP) are the
top data center priorities this year, according to Symantec's 2010 State of the Data
Center study released today.
The survey of 1,780 small, mid-size and large data centers found that about 80 percent
of data centers rate security, backup and recovery, and CDP as their most important
initiatives for 2010, ahead of even server virtualization.
Data archiving, replication, storage virtualization and deduplication were
also ranked high in the survey by about 70 percent of respondents, but public, private
and hybrid cloud computing was only ranked as important by a little more than half of
those surveyed, coming in at the bottom of the
survey.
