“Trends in the storage area” - Project successfully completed

“The biggest challenge is to manage constant growth of data - under the condition of constant budget.”

Rapid data growth, unstructured data, complex storage landscapes –German companies are currently confronted with these and similar challenges in the area of storage management. This was confirmed within a D-LABS market study about storage customer requirements on behalf of SmApper Technologies.

The results of the study are based on qualitative interviews with CIOs, heads of IT departments and experts of leading German companies in different business lines. Besides current challenges, decision-making processes, criteria for the selection of a storage solution and trends were also discussed within the interviews.

Based on the results of the study, SmApper got valuable insights into thinking and acting of potential customers. Additionally new potentials for innovations and general trends for the storage area could be derived and will be used as proposals for the further development of SmApper products.

“We are thrilled: High quality results, quick service provision, high engagement and professionalism. From our point of view, significant benefit was provided within the project and we are looking forward to work with D-LABS again!” (Gunther Thiel, CEO SmApper Technologies)
