Overview:

Vendor consolidation is a fact of economic life. The bigger a company is, the more it can push economies of scale.

The cloud is threatening to accelerate this consolidation significantly. IT and storage are not commodities today, but that may not always be the case.

It is surely only a matter of time before bandwidth and security are up to the task.

Check out this special European edition of Storage magazine for expert analyses and forecasts about where storage is heading and how you can get ahead of the curve. Articles include:
