The Independent – Independent – May 22, 2007
Investors have been getting exited about the broadcaster ITV in recent sessions, particularly given the rumours that BSkyB may be looking to find a buyer for its 17. However, the broker JP Morgan does not think the company will see much upside from strategic changes for at least another 12 months, and that, bid speculation apart, there is not much reason for short-term cheer.

The self-storage warehouse operator Big Yellow Group was in focus on the back of an impressive set of full-year results.

There is also some mixed news, depending on whether you relish new opportunities or prefer to stick with what you know. The good news is that since the emergence of Fibre Channel in the late 1990s, the options – and related complications – around configuring, connecting and managing data storage have increased. So much so that research conducted by the Storage Networking Industry Association (SNIA) found that 55% of European user companies believe they need a dedicated storage team. The bad news is that 45% do not see such a need. The mixed news is that IP (Internet Protocol) networking, infrastructure management software and other developments are together opening the prospect of storage becoming just another part of the company network based on industry standards, thus reducing the need for storage staff. The opportunity here for optimists in data storage is that they could expand their careers into networking. Data storage is relatively new as a career option, says Bernard Zeutzius, EMEA product manager at Cisco.
