3 Steps To Transforming The Economics Of Data

Data is growing at an explosive rate - over 667 exabytes of data will flow through the Internet alone in 2014. What is exabyte - that's 667 quintillion bytes ... 667 with 18 zeros after!! 

This tremendous growth places intense demands on storage systems, especially flash arrays and storage virtualization.  How can clients transform the economics of data? 



 Watch this video: This clear and simple white-boarding video below explains the details. 

New Challenges From Big Data

Companies are facing challenges from data:
1. Growing Data – not just the traditional structured data from traditional, but also the unstructured data from social media
2. Storage inefficiency – companies are buying 24 percent more storage but less than half is used.
3. Storage complexity – More data is generated across departments which is not linked across the organization

Making Sense of Data

How can we make sense of the data and enable the infrastructure to support it?
1. Optimize the storage with real time compression technology – store 5x more data and reduce cost by 60%
2. Maximize performance with flash – business applications can run 3.5x faster
3. Enable new workload with software defined storage – simply storage management and access to get data when needed, easy to deploy cloud, social and mobile platforms.


Data Helps To Stay Ahead Of Competition

With the right infrastructure and technology, business can stay ahead of competition. Each division can access data and use it for competitive advantage:
1. Sales gets insights and are able to run analytics needed to make more profitable business
2. Marketing can run highly effective marketing campaigns with better customer insights
3. Finance can keep cost under lock with more efficient technology

    1. Thank you Linus Hammarstrand (韩林士), We made this video locally to help everyone understand how to manage data, as the materials out there are usually very silo specific to each technology or technical. Glad that you found it informative!

  2. Kailash Purang: Very engaging and simple way to show how the economics of data can be transformed, but doesn't really monetise the data. May be with some of the savings, a data scientist/analytics person should be hired, with decent software, to extract the nuggets from the data. :)

    1. Very true Kailash Purang, What's all the data for if it cannot be analyzed? And by a true professional data scientist at that. You are the first on the hiring list!
