SearchStorage, December 16th, 2022
Consultants and analysts say SaaS and cloud sales will dominate enterprise storage market into 2023. But hardware innovations are still possible and on the horizon.
Advances in storage software eclipsed hardware developments in 2022 -- a necessary shift if vendors want to stay part of the enterprise IT evolution, according to industry experts.
Hyperscalers and storage vendors increased software offerings in the cloud, both as managed services and self-serve consumption models this year. This storage software often includes data management tools and pricing forecasts -- increasingly important features for IT departments, according to Ray Lucchesi, president and founder of Silverton Consulting.
