We believe 2008 will be a turning point as Web-scale storage goes mainstream. Organizations need to deploy more cost-efficient, more scalable and higher performance systems than ever before to meet the rising tides of data growth. At the same time they have a much lower tolerance for latency and bottlenecks within the storage infrastructure. Well positioned vendors are those who can effectively address both of these challenges. IBRIX gained some solid traction in '07 and will be looking to put in a repeat performance in
2008.
