Storage schmorage

The other day, I was told about an IT department that was refusing to implement social media internally because of (ready?) storage. “All those employee-generated videos and photos!” they worried. “We don’t have the storage for those files.”

My immediate thought: Bunk. It was an excuse that belied other issues. Why do I guess this? Because a few weeks back, I added a 1-terabyte drive to my home server. That 1-terabyte drive cost $400. One more time: $400 for a terabyte. I’m sorry, but no company, no matter how small or how tight the budget, can get away with invoking the cost of storage as a reason to avoid the introduction of social media...or anything else that might reside on the network.

I wonder how hard a time that IT person had keeping a straight face while offering up the excuse.
