CIOs and CFOs: Storage Management Alternatives Represent Great Potential For ROI; Storage No Longer a Sunk Cost of "Shopping for Disks"

Nucleus Research (NucleusResearch.com), the leading provider of bottom-line focused technology research, today announced the results of a benchmark study for CIOs and CFOs on the financial returns from effective storage management. New storage architectural alternatives and rapidly improving management software can provide bottom-line benefits, but these must be balanced against the need to reduce administrative costs and downtime issues, reduce storage capacity costs, and manage software management costs.
