Originating Author: David Vellante
In today's 7/3/2007 Wikibon Peer Incite research meeting, the consensus was that iPhone and similar devices will both consume vast amounts of storage and create demand for more enterprise storage services. Locally, such devices are inherently more attuned to creating storage in the form of video and audio and more cumbersome (than alternatives like PC's) when creating unstructured alphanumeric storage.
Nonetheless, as processing and storage become more distributed, the state of the application becomes harder to manage and lots of experimentation will take place over the next several years regarding whether states are managed locally or globally. This will lead to new questions about what should be synchronized and how it should be done so that data is not lost. As users become more mobile and storage more distributed, the degree to which mobile device storage requires backup, restore and archiving servcies will be a key point of discussion in the coming years.
Action Items: Tier 3 storage is a big winner to the extent that devices like iPhone are adopted in the enterprise. Demand will grow for solutions that provide backup and archiving services for mobile device data in a repository that is accessible, recoverable, low cost and secure. Opportunistic vendors will sieze this opportunity and provide solutions that capitalize on this trend.
