- 3. 3 Migrating to the Cloud? You’re Not Alone *Sources: IDC, Gartner, Cisco Global Cloud Index Global installed base of storage capacity is set to double by 2021. 94% of workloads will be in the cloud, and ¾ of that on public clouds. 80% of enterprise information will be in the form of unstructured data. Data analytics and IoT will be the fastest growing enterprise applications.* 5 years ago cloud migration was about reducing CAPEX. Now it is a strategic imperative. It is the only way to deliver on the demands of the latest enterprise use cases.
- 4. Third party experts say to prioritize secondary and tertiary data stored in old on-premises arrays. Regular hardware refresh cycles can trigger a need for file server consolidation. Many CIO’s are mandating a move to the cloud. 4 Where and How Do You Start?
- 5. 5 Making the Case for the Cloud “For a large data set, it is difficult or impossible to move the data over conventional Internet links… A FedEx truck full of storage devices has a faster bandwidth than any conventional network.” Tom Coughlin, Forbes.com “The rapid growth of unstructured data driven by new applications, workloads and rich-media data streams… are unravelling traditional storage.” Phil Bullinger, Western Digital It’s big, and getting bigger. It’s expensive to do on premises. It’s safer and more secure to manage in the cloud. Get your secondary/tertiary data to the cloud first, and you’ll solve many of the problems you’re likely to encounter moving mission critical workloads later.
