How well are enterprises are really doing in their day-to-day management of data and storage resources?
EMC reports that 50 percent of enterprises they have interviewed say that they required additional skills to manage their IT workloads, which were increasing at the same time that the number of people available to support the workloads was going down.
EMC also reports that five percent of their respondents told them that they needed to re-skill their entire IT teams. Because of the economic downturn many employee’s were being asked to assume different responsibilities or roles than they were trained for. IT organizations are stretched as it is, getting daily work done doesn’t leave much time to do the little things, let alone fine tune.
Shifting roles and growing workloads affect data and storage because the tools that sites purchase to manage these resources are only as good as the knowledge that backs them up. Data is often aggregated in storage systems without taking into account that there are different classifications of data. When people don’t fully understand the content of the data, it makes it that much more difficult to apply correct data and storage management policies, such as the appropriate level of security that should be attached to different data classifications and different storage devices.”
“The data that enterprises are acquiring, managing, and storing has soared over the past four years,” says Aloke Shrivastava, senior director of educational services for EMC. “Many enterprises have the tools and techniques on hand to manage this data, but in the worldwide research that we have conducted, enterprise IT and storage managers are telling us that the number one challenge they are facing is that their enterprise data is growing exponentially, but that the skill sets needed to manage this data are not readily available in the market.”
