High Interest Solutions
Solution providers want to know what their customers are thinking about, so here are some answers. In preparation for the Midsize Enterprise Summit in Los Angeles next month, Everything Channel asked midmarket CIO attendees to rate their interest (high, medium or low) in a number of different solutions. Here are the top 10 categories, ranked by those who received the most votes for "high interest."
Virtualization (53 percent)
It's no surprise that virtualization rates high with midmarket CIOs, as 53 percent selected that solution as a high priority for them. Businesses of all sizes are looking to leverage virtual technology, such as that offered by VMware or Microsoft, to help cut their IT costs.
"We're looking to implement something for [disaster recovery]. Virtualization is a cost-effective solution. If we can implement DR at one-half or one-third the cost, that's the kind of thing that will catch management's attention," said Michael Pate, director of IT at Complete Production Services, Houston.
