Enterprises are Finding Out They Really Need Help
If you consider what a number of the big-data specialists are predicting, 2019 may properly turn out to be a yr that may convey renewed curiosity in knowledge lakes, of all issues. Private clouds, too, could also be making a comeback.
Analysts are positing that the quantity of the world’s knowledge doubles itself each two years. That’s akin to Moore’s regulation, which acknowledged that the variety of transistors in a dense built-in circuit doubles about each two years. But in relation to precise knowledge bytes, we’re speaking exabytes of information each two years. Wonder what an exabyte is? That could be equal to 1 billion gigabytes, and a gigabyte is already lots of knowledge.
We have extra gadgets and machines amassing knowledge for us than we’ve got in historical past. The quantity of information we produce on daily basis is really mind-boggling. There are 2.5 quintillion bytes of information created every day at our present tempo, however that tempo is barely accelerating with the expansion of the web of issues (IoT). Over the final two years alone 90 p.c of the info on the earth was generated.
So the place are we going to place all that knowledge? We’re definitely not going to have the ability to maintain all of it on our smartphones, laborious drives or private storage gadgets—though the latter are comparatively cheap and simple to make use of.
We’re retaining increasingly more of our paperwork, images, movies and odds and ends in a cloud of some type, whether or not it’s AWS, iCloud, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, Rackspace or another cloud supplier. We’re additionally sustaining lots of private knowledge in particular purposes, resembling Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Google. These cloud-service suppliers are bulging on the seams with knowledge, as you may think.
So what’s going to be the way forward for knowledge storage? Can this proceed on as is, or are we going to wish some innovation we’ve got but to know? Can we really depend on cloud storage for the whole lot, going ahead?
We’re betting that there’s something new on the horizon that may finally rescue the storage trade from drowning in its personal knowledge.
Let’s talk about all of this April 10 at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on #eWEEKchat.
