Abstract

This IDC study evaluates today's tiered storage environment. What is the state of tiered storage? How is this technology evolving? What do the solutions look like today? And how are future requirements shaping the tiered storage solutions of tomorrow? This document answers these questions and considers whether or not the industry has "tiers of joy" or "tears of despair."

"Today's economics, a growing diversity of data types, and the desire to manage an increasing amount of data more efficiently are driving IT managers to evaluate more sophisticated and efficient storage solution technologies. A key technology that is destined to assist in this endeavor is tiered storage." — David Reinsel, group vice president, Storage and Semiconductor research
