| | January 20144CIOReviewEditorialThe global economy is trending towards a very positive growth. The year 2014 will be where current trends will accelerate the transformation already underway in how we consume information and do business. The enterprises will need to evaluate their information strategy to take advantage of the emerging opportunities like storage, cloud computing, internet of things and many more.For instance, the enterprise storage systems market will grow at a 3.9 percent compound annual growth rate (CAGR) between 2010 and 2015, and revenues will reach $37.3 billion in 2015. Though forecast reflects impressive statistics, it is observed that IT organizations that have spent many years implementing massive storage capacity in order to keep up with data growth have still not succeeded in optimizing the system and most of them have wasted 70 percent of storage capacity. The enterprises need to evaluate unified storage vendors and their offerings so that they do not have to compromise on performance, scalability, or cost efficiency.While big data continues to explode, and old storage systems continue to break, there are simple solutions on the market to redefine storage as we have known it to date. Modern storage solutions can help organizations address their big data storage challenges by providing software to build private or public clouds using commodity servers. While there are plenty of providers and undiscovered storage solution, organizations that succeed will be those that understand the possibilities, see through the vendor hype and make the right choice.
