Data Storage Trends At-a-Glance: What Organizations Should Know
How are organizations managing the nearly 100 zetabytes of data produced and consumed each year? With an increased focus on managing cloud-based solutions, new data storage philosophies and compliance, Red River and Dell Technologies are giving leaders a big picture view on data management trends that matter most in the new data storage trends infographic. Get information at a glance covering the following topics.
Understanding the Complexity of On-Prem & Multi-Cloud Architectures
As systems continue to move to the cloud, it’s usually done in a disorganized fashion. Cost goes up, security is weakened and access controls aren’t appropriately transferred. The major challenges with data covers the cost of data storage, time to process data and risk of data breaches. Thes issues can lead to bringing off-prem systems back on-prem for repatriation.
Minimizing Costs & Managing Data
Managing data safely, even on the cloud can increase the cost of management. Costs stem from protecting personally identifiable information (PII), controlling access on a granular level, an increased need for compute cycles and delineating between on-prem and cloud data tiers. Each of these needs can drive up costs and ultimately without careful consideration of the on-prem or off-prem needs can result in organizations consuming greater levels of resources than they actually need.
Reporting Analytics & Data Storage through AI & ML
Organizations are collecting large volumes of data to support analytics and analysis and leverage AI and machine learning for actionable insights. Analyzing greater volumes of data is becoming commonplace, which requires more sophisticated data management systems to protect security and provide a reasonable path for data growth. Organizations are now investing more in managed service providers and outsourcing security to keep with the increasing demands.
Protecting Against Ransomware
Organizations need to be increasingly mindful of how well their data fabric can be secured with the resources they have and what strategies they need to employ to fill in the gaps.
This requires a balanced approach of keeping the data accessible, ready and active, while maintaining a strong data management strategy that protects against cyber threats.
Other Trends to Watch
Organizations are moving to faster on-prem solutions to meet data management needs including high-bandwidth NICs and higher performance storage controllers. 5G and IoT data is on the rise, which increases data storage requirements. Unstructured data is requiring specialized tools for proper management and data sovereignty is a continual concern.
Ultimately where data is located, how data is managed and what approaches support the growing volume of data are all critical considerations that show up in top data storage trends for 2024. To get the highlights on the latest trends in data storage, download the infographic.
