In an effort to gauge where storage professionals in Europe are planning to spend their budgets in the coming months, we recently conducted a Purchasing Intentions survey among our European readers, similar to the Purchasing Intentions survey conducted twice a year by Storage magazine and SearchStorage.com. This year's European survey yielded some interesting results around data storage spending in general, as well as indications around trends in the storage marketplace. Our Special Report explores how budgets are being allocated, how server virtualisation is affecting storage purchase plans, what storage networking gear is in favour, which backup tools are being used by your peers, how many of them are using SRM software, and more.
