According to the February 2012 Forrester Research report Top
Ten Storage Predictions for I&O Professionals, storage represented an
average of 15 percent of the total IT budget in 2011 which means organizations
will need to look at all their options before making huge investments in costly
infrastructure.

becomes a viable enterprise option.”
