  • Hype Cycle for Storage and Data Protection Technologies, 2020
    Hype Cycle for Storage and Data Protection Technologies, 2020 Published 6 July 2020 - ID G00441602 - 78 min read By Analysts Julia Palmer Initiatives:Data Center Infrastructure This Hype Cycle evaluates storage and data protection technologies in terms of their business impact, adoption rate and maturity level to help IT leaders build stable, scalable, efficient and agile storage and data protection platform for digital business initiatives. Analysis What You Need to Know The storage and data protection market is evolving to address new challenges in enterprise IT such as exponential data growth, changing demands for skills, rapid digitalization and globalization of business, requirements to connect and collect everything, and expansion of data privacy and sovereignty laws. Requirements for robust, scalable, simple and performant storage are on the rise. As the data center no longer remains the center of data, IT leaders expect storage to evolve from being delivered by rigid appliances in core data centers to flexible storage platforms capable of enabling hybrid cloud data flow at the edge and in the public cloud. Here, Gartner has assessed 24 of the most relevant storage and data protection technologies that IT leaders must evaluate to address the fast-evolving needs of the enterprise. For more information about how peer I&O leaders view the technologies aligned with this Hype Cycle, see “2020-2022 Emerging Technology Roadmap for Large Enterprises.” The Hype Cycle IT leaders responsible for storage and data protection must cope with the rapidly changing requirements of digital business, exponential data growth, introduction of new workloads, and the desire to leverage public cloud and enable edge capabilities.

Our described approach is both ‘top down’ and ‘bottom up’; we begin by summarizing existing studies on the cloud market, and review how the EASI-CLOUDS project partners are positioned on the cloud value chain. We review emerging trends, concepts, business models and value drivers in the cloud market, and present results from a survey targeted at top cloud bloggers and cloud professionals. We then review how the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure components create value both directly and by facilitating brokerage and federation. We then examine how cloud market opportunities can be grasped through different business models. Specifically, we examine value creation and value capture in different generic business models that may benefit from the EASI-CLOUDS infrastructure. We conclude by providing recommendations on how the different EASI-CLOUDS demonstrators may be commercialized through different business models. © EASI-CLOUDS Consortium. 2 Deliverable 1.5 – Final Business Models for EASI-CLOUDS v1.0 Table of contents Table of contents ...........................................................................................................................

  • Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers
    Why the Dell / EMC Combination Makes Sense for Customers Synergistic product portfolio and go-to-market strategies have potential to set IT customers up for success in the digital economy Executive Summary One of the biggest technology deals in history at over $60 billion is about to unfold as Dell prepares to buy EMC. At EMC World in May 2016, Michael Dell made this acquisition more real than ever when he announced the new entity’s name, Dell Technologies, which will be an umbrella brand for the collection of companies that will include enterprise and client solutions and services, and other strategic assets including VMware, Pivotal, RSA, Virtustream, and SecureWorks. With just a few major milestones to go, it appears that all is on track for the companies to merge the enterprise organizations as Dell EMC under the umbrella brand and to begin operating as one by around mid-year. Dell and EMC are positioning themselves as the path to the cloud for IT customers. Moor Insights & Strategy (MI&S) believes Dell’s leadership in compute and EMC’s leadership in storage and converged infrastructure have the potential to become building blocks for a one-stop shop for enterprise datacenter customers. Other assets such as security, virtualization software, and cloud solutions can help round out the portfolio. Moreover, Dell’s client computing business and IoT practices can bring insight into client computing and IoT models that will be key drivers for future datacenter requirements. Dell EMC should focus on continuing to build up their networking business and making it a more cohesive part of their end-to-end datacenter story.

    End-Users Survey 2020 March 2020 Published March 16th, 2020 Document #CR-2020-011-44 Introduction We ran an end-users survey in January 2020 to learn about storage related IT projects needs, collect users perceptions and understand their technologies adoptions. By end-users we mean companies that pick, deploy and used IT products to support their business activity and mission. We considered 2 populations – US and Europe – with respectively 1123 US companies and 560 European ones. For Europe, we limit our study to UK, Germany and France. Each of these countries represents approximately one third of the total European users. Users belong to the enterprise and SMB segments with 50% from each segment. Companies span several verticals in term of industries and use-cases. The study addresses technology adoption, projects priorities and products/features needs for a total of 20 questions. Each graphic is sorted by descending order for US. “We wished to understand end-users perspective beyond what we heard from vendors, so we asked a series of 20 questions to end-users across all verticals and industries and results are more than interesting with some surprises.” Philippe Nicolas Founder and Lead Analyst Coldago Research Copyright © 2020 Coldago Research End-Users Survey 2020 - March 2020 2 Questions about technologies and products #1: What are the technologies you will consider for new projects in 2020?
