Flash systems preferred

A study by Fujitsu and Crisp Research shows that companies prefer flash systems in the face of increasing storage requirements in the data center. According to the study, almost two thirds of companies are in the midst of the transformation process.

One in five are currently in a growth and scaling phase of their digital business models. However, 40 percent still see a considerable need to catch up. At the same time, 46 percent prefer a holistic approach to data management.

Remarkably, although the amount of data is increasing and the cloud has already proven itself as an alternative in many cases, almost half of those surveyed (44%) are pursuing an in-house storage strategy. Nevertheless, many of them want to significantly increase funding for innovations, especially in the storage sector.
