The Storage and Virtualisation market continues to grow rapidly worldwide. With the increasing developments and increasing adoption of evolving technologies such as cloud computing, data duplication, and storage area networks the growth of Storage and Virtualisation will continue to develop and grow into the foreseeable future.

The global storage hardware and peripheral market recorded the revenue of $163.3 billion in 2008. In late 2008, IDC predicted more than 61% Annual Growth Rate for unstructured data in traditional data centers through 2012, which according to more recent data would appear to be a conservative estimate. A key driver of growth in the storage industry has been regulations like Sarbanes-Oxley. Spending in 2005 on regulatory compliance in the United States by Fortune 500 companies was more than $19 billion, so with the growth of data being predicted and the legislation requiring the data to be stored and accessible is it any wonder Storage continues to double every two years.

Storage in simple terms is the place where data is held in an electromagnetic or optical form for access by a computer processor. There are many storage solutions available such as Disk Systems, Tape Systems, Storage Area Networks, Network Attached Storage and Archiving to name a few.

Regardless if you are a home user, a small company or large multinational corporate or government organisation you will need to use a storage device of some description.

As an example: A SAN is commonly found in the enterprise space. A storage area network (SAN) is any high-performance network whose primary purpose is to enable storage devices to communicate with computer systems and with each other.

Internet Small Computer System Interface (iSCSI), a method of connecting storage facilities that is increasingly used by both big corporations and small- to medium-sized businesses. The other, storage virtualization, has helped organizations condense heterogeneous data into clear and easy-to-understand implements.
