It seems like just a few years ago that the Internet completely changed the way we do business. And now we are seeing it again, with mobile devices as the catalyst. Once mostly forbidden by IT, smartphones are now being used by hundreds of millions of employees throughout the world to access corporate information to keep up in today’s 24/7 business world. Symantec commissioned the 2012 State of Mobility survey to gauge how organizations are coping with this trend. The survey included 6,275 organizations—from small businesses to large enterprises—across 43 countries.
State of the Data Center Survey
The 2012 State of the Data Center report is based on input from 2,453 IT professionals at organizations in 32 countries. The survey highlights the underlying drivers of data center complexity, current impacts on the business, and the latest initiatives IT is adopting to mitigate the issues. Seventy-nine percent of survey respondents reported increasing complexity in the data center. While complexity stems from a variety of factors, respondents identify implementing an information governance strategy as the main initiative organizations are taking to address data center growing pains. The survey results emphasize the importance of taking steps to intelligently manage organizational resources to rein in operational costs and control information growth.
2012 State of Information Report
Symantec’s 2012 State of Information Survey uncovers the true cost and the sheer volume of digital information businesses manage today. The value of information to an organization is high but what can organizations do to better protect their information?
