December 22, 2008 (Computerworld) About half of data centers are responding to the economic crisis by cutting their budgets an average of 15% for 2009, according to a new survey by the AFCOM Data Center Institute.
While the overall cuts were “surprising low” in the view of Jill Eckhaus, the CEO of the Association for Computer Operations Management (AFCOM), she said she doesn’t want to minimize the impact those cuts will have on the 49% of affected data centers.
