Top 3 Technologies For The First 25 Years Of The Century
StorageNewsletter.com, Thursday, June 12th, 2025
Around the end of last year, right after SC24 in Atlanta, GA, I realized that 2025 will arrive fast, representing the first 25 years of the century, a pretty unique moment. I asked myself about the technologies that impacted our industry the most and I decided to add this simple question to our survey as question #0.
The questions was
'What are your Top 3 IT Technologies and Innovations since 2000 that positively impacted Data Storage?' OR, in other words, 'What are your Top 3 Data Storage Technologies and Innovations since 2000?'
and we addressed it to almost 1500 people, approximately 2 third from the US and 1 third from Europe, and by Europe I mean France, Germany and UK. We target only end-users and no vendors, nor cloud providers or system integrators have been involved as we wish to get their direct opinions and comments from the user community and collect opinion based on past or current offerings. We didn't suggest any answers and we had to aggregate and merge results to unify diversity and group them.
The number 1 is about Media, number 2 about Access and number 3 is related to Operating Environment.
