Today, we are sitting on a mammoth amount of data or golden asset. According to IDC, by 2025, the worldwide data will grow 61% to 175 zettabytes from 33 zettabytes, with as much of the data residing in the cloud as in data centres.

An organization’s value is defined not just by their market capital, or human capital – but also a hitherto under-valued asset – that’s Data. Data is a great capital more impactful and important, prone to mismanagement and most potential to generate differentiating benefits. Organizations are trying hard to unlock the true value of data capital as it helps them in business decisions no longer on hunches, but on the basis of solid data-driven facts.

In such a scenario, data storage plays a very crucial role. Data storage is one of the basic capabilities in a company’s technology portfolio – yet it is a complex discipline.

Whether dealing with transactional processing applications, analytical systems or even general-purpose data storage (files, email, pictures, etc.), most organizations use sophisticated methods to plan capacity and allocate storage to the various systems.

However, there’s rarely a plan for efficiently managing the storage required to share and move data between systems. It is important to manage the rapid growth of structured and un-structured data, with flexible, easy-to-manage solutions. At the same time, organizations should efficiently consolidate a wide range of file and object storage workloads at any scale while enhancing the performance of the most demanding workloads.
