Q: Where are you at in the lifecycle of project planning?

Understanding the motivation behind a data storage security project is critical in validating if and when a project will occur. When the need is established and is driven by an upper management directive, or is a component of a compliance program, there is a high probability that the project will occur with the usual course of events:

  1. Information collection
  2. Evaluation of the proposed concept
  3. Technology evaluation
  4. Procurement
  5. Deployment
