Marketplace Trends Driving IT SolutionsWorldwide, organizations hold about 2.2 zettabytes of data and spend about $1.1 trillion to secure and provide access to it, according to a recent study by Symantec as mentioned online here. This study is based on the results of a survey of 4,056 information technology professionals at organizations in 38 countries for Symantec's "State of Information" survey. The survey found on average $38 million is being spent annually by larger enterprises, and $332,000 by small to midsize businesses (SMBs), to store and secure their business data. In all, 30% said they suffer from "information sprawl" as data is held outside the organization as well as inside it.
