      Enterprises are Finding Out They Really Need Help

      If you believe what some of the big-data experts are predicting, 2019 could well become a year that will bring renewed interest in data lakes, of all things. Private clouds, too, may be making a comeback.

      Analysts are positing that the amount of the world’s data doubles itself every two years. That’s akin to Moore’s law, which stated that the number of transistors in a dense integrated circuit doubles about every two years. But when it comes to actual data bytes, we’re talking exabytes of data every two years. Wonder what an exabyte is? That would be equivalent to 1 billion gigabytes, and a gigabyte is already a lot of data.

      We have more devices and machines collecting data for us than we have in history. The amount of data we produce every day is truly mind-boggling. There are 2.5 quintillion bytes of data created each day at our current pace, but that pace is only accelerating with the growth of the internet of things (IoT). Over the last two years alone 90 percent of the data in the world was generated.

      So where are we going to put all that data? We’re certainly not going to be able to keep it all on our smartphones, hard drives or personal storage devices—although the latter are relatively inexpensive and easy to use.

      We’re keeping more and more of our documents, photos, videos and odds and ends in a cloud of some sort, whether it’s AWS, iCloud, Google Cloud, Azure, Oracle Cloud, Rackspace or some other cloud provider. We’re also maintaining a lot of personal data in specific applications, such as Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, WhatsApp, LinkedIn and Google. These  cloud-service providers are bulging at the seams with data, as you might imagine.

      So what’s going to be the future of data storage? Can this continue on as is, or are we going to need some innovation we have yet to understand? Can we actually rely on cloud storage for everything, going forward?

      We’re betting that there is something new on the horizon that will eventually rescue the storage industry from drowning in its own data.

      Let’s discuss all of this April 10 at 11am Pacific/2pm Eastern on #eWEEKchat.
