Eliminating the Problems of Exponential Data Growth, Forever
- 1. The Challenges of Managing and Protecting Expodential Data Growth Robert Amatruda, Research Director Data Protection and Recovery
- 2. The Challenges of Managing and Protecting Expodential Data Growth Customers increasingly managing not just information but infrastructure Increasingly, geo-dispersed data drive the need for flexible and agile infrastructure Rapid unstructured data growth as a result of mobility, social media, big data and cloud adoption Data growth, virtualization, optimization and edge protection coupled with more aggressive RTO/RPO’s driving more use of disk and replication © IDC Visit us at IDC.com and follow us on Twitter: @IDC 2
- 3. Explosion of Devices and Management Challenges in the Datacenter Data centers are the cornerstone of business… …managing both infrastructure and information.
- 4. The Evolving Data Landscape App Data User Data Ever-growing data sets require dispersed data management Workloads need to run where the data is located Geo-dispersed data sets require geo-dispersed workloads Mobile Data Decentralized data stores Workloads are gaining location awareness Social media, big data and cloud usage is generating more unstructured data Machines generating more semistructured IDC Confidential 4
- 5. Unstructured Data is Growing Rapidly Implications of Unstructured Data growth: Drives the need for capacity optimized systems that house unstructured data Unstructured data can be stored/accessed via onpremises or cloud-based delivery models Object-based storage platforms also power the cloud storage-as-aservice solutions 140 120 100 80 60 40 20 0 2009 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 Capacity Optimized (shipped PB) Performance Optimized (shipped PB) • UNSTRUCTURED DATA accounts for 70-80% of storage capacity growth • Capacity-optimized storage spending growth has 16.2% CAGR 5
