President Obama will sign the historic and sweeping stimulus bill today and over the past week, several articles and blogs took a look at how this package could benefit the storage and IT industries. Most notable for the industry is the $20 billion being put towards the goal of digitizing all medical records by 2014. Such digitization will create “huge storage needs,” one hospital administrator told Beth Pariseau at SearchStorage.
Here are some of the articles I found most useful and thought prov0king:
