Steve McDowell, Principal Analyst, Data & Storage at Moor Insights & Strategy, offers his perspective on the future of storage delivered as-a-service.

Organizations can then leverage new, flexible consumption models as a key growth lever to scale their businesses.

Storage is a critical component of strategy and plays a major role in keeping businesses running. No matter what your function in the organization, you need fast access to stored data to make business decisions. But the cost of traditional storage can be a major concern.
