Leading organizations no longer see their infrastructure management role as one of shaving costs, but of improving business agility. —Gartner
From a global perspective, midsized businesses rated data backup and recovery as the top IT focus area over the next twelve months, followed by security and connecting branch offices. —AMI 2004 Global Data Set, SMS&P Data Book, October 2005
The IT recession has morphed into a new IT reality in which cautious technology spending has fundamentally altered how organizations are allocating their IT investments. IT budgets are not simply declining or leveling-off. Rather, they are changing completely. Companies are shifting from a pure cost-cut mode to a model that emphasizes agility and efficiency. They are removing fixed costs in favor of variable costs.—META

—James Hunter-Patterson, Network Administrator, Paul Smith“We prefer to stay with the Windows platform because it provides greater flexibility in integrating the different parts of our infrastructure—mobile, desktop, and server. That way we can focus on getting the most out of our data instead of gluing together the systems that contain it.”
—Clete Hyman, Deputy Chief, City of Redlands Police Department
