    Storage Market Trends in Western Europe

    For this research project on data storage trends in Western Europe, ESG surveyed 307 IT and storage professionals who are responsible for evaluating, purchasing, or managing data storage at midmarket (i.e. 100 to 999 employees) and enterprise (i.e. 1,000 or more employees) organizations in the UK, France, and Germany. The survey questions were the same questions that were posed in a separate ESG survey of IT and storage professionals in North America (United States and Canada), as described in ESG’s research report on the U.S. storage market. The results of the two research projects provide valuable information about the similarities and differences in storage technology purchasing, deployment, and management in Western Europe compared to North America. In many cases, the findings from the two surveys were quite similar. However, there were key differences in some areas, and these differences will be highlighted throughout this report.
