The addition of eight new CEE states to the EU is still sending waves of change through the businesses and governments of these countries. EU funding for SMEs, open borders, new tax structures, and surges in client and potential client data means organizations will continue to upgrade systems and purchase new hardware solutions. Outside the EU, countries are adopting similar rules both to appease international businesses and prepare for eventual accession.
Including storage. In fact, changing regulations on data almost ensures the continued development of solutions. For instance, in December 2005, EU lawmakers passed statutes placing new data retention requirements on telcos and Internet service providers. Over the next 18 months to three years (when the laws are likely to take effect), telcos and ISPs will need to retool or upgrade systems to be in compliance with the new measures.
