  2. ENTERPRISE DATA CENTER WHAT’S IN STORE FOR 2013? • Just as last year brought many changes to the enterprise data center market, 2013 will likely see some exciting trends as well. • During 2012, traditional issues like power and cooling efficiency topped many news articles. • These issues will still be important in the coming year, but the emphasis will be on performance. • In 2013, the issues likely to get the most press will be the following:

  3. ENTERPRISE DATA CENTER WHAT’S IN STORE FOR 2013? • Bring Your Own Device, also known as “BYOD” • As more and more end users want to use their own mobile devices, IT managers will be challenged to incorporate them into the work environment. • According to industry analyst Gartner, 70% of respondents to a December 2012 survey said their enterprise data centers plan to have BYOD policies in place within the next year. • The big push during 2013 will be for enterprise data centers to develop sound security policies to protect corporate data while allowing authorized access to users who have their own mobile devices.
