Storage is big in Accenture’s quinquennial snapshot of IT trends

Mary Jander at Byte and Switch talked to Accenture’s chief scientist Kishore Swaminathan about IT’s future.  He outlines eight trends driving their planning.  Lots in common with Byte and Switch’s view on storage networking trends I posted on a while back.

What do these trends mean for storage? Datacenters-as-a-service.  Per Swaminathan,

Hardware is going more and more toward scale, to the point where it won’t be economical for anyone to run a small data center.

Sounds like the future of IT resembles what’s going on inside the dataplexes of Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. today.
