Enterprise Storage: Bifurcating Storage Market; Interview with Scott Genereux, SVP of DataDirect Networks Worldwide Sales, IT Spending Thoughts, & More

Traditional Versus Next-Gen Storage Workloads--Interview With Scott Genereux, Exec. Vice President Of Worldwide Sales At DataDirect Networks--In this note we highlight our updated thoughts on what could be increasing bifurcation in the enterprise storage market involving traditional enterprise workloads and those environments requiring highly scalable next-generation storage systems. We believe it is becoming increasingly apparent that there is a evolving storage market around new classes of workloads--driven by Web 2.0, digital video surveillance, video production/delivery (e.g. VoD), etc.

With this in mind, we also thought it would be interesting to highlight a recent interview with Scott Genereux, EVP of Worldwide Sales at DataDirect Networks--a relatively unknown, but established ($100+MM in annualized revenue and protable) player in this next-gen storage market. This was the rst public interview Mr. Genereux has done since leaving Hitachi Data Systems in February 2008.
