As installed capacity continues to spiral upward, beleaguered storage pros are looking for new ways to manage and administer high-capacity storage environments. In this session, we analyze and present the results of Storage magazine's twice-yearly Purchasing Intentions survey. The results of this exclusive show key trends and the types of solutions storage managers are seeking, while revealing some of the strategic and tactical decisions they'll be making this year.

We'll look at:

• The newer technologies that are gaining favor
• The leading vendors in a variety of product categories
