More news out of AFCOM – This one from Computer Networking<\/p>\n

While the headlines scream about the economy\u2019s downward spiral, it seems there\u2019s a bright spot, at least if you\u2019re a data center manager. More than half of data center managers surveyed by AFCOM, the leading professional organization for data center management professionals, said their budgets wouldn’t be cut this year.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat that means to us is that over 50 percent of respondents weren\u2019t seeing an impact on their budgets \u2013 which means the majority of corporations realize that the data center is the lifeblood of their organizations, and that they need to focus on keeping their data flowing, secure and optimized,\u201d Jill Eckhaus, CEO of AFCOM says.<\/p>\n
