This year is seeing a substantial transition within the storage and data management, as enterprises demand more agile, scalable and secure solutions to handle their data needs.
To help organisations navigate this space, Verinext has put together some storage and data management predictions.
- There will be a shift to unified storage platforms integrating block, file and object storage into a single architecture.
- Dynamic cloud optimisation tools and solutions will gain prominence as organistions look to curb storage costs.
Immutability and ransomware protection are increasingly going to be integrated into storage systems as standard features.
- Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will drive a data explosion, leading to the evolution of data lakes.
- Modular, commodity-based storage hardware designs will help to ensure future-proofing and cost-effectiveness.
- With around half of all data set to be stored in the cloud this year, hybrid cloud and data portability are now seen as strategic imperative.
- Tailored storage solutions for industries like healthcare, media and manufacturing will grow in adoption.
