Digitalization fundamentally transforms businesses, influencing how employees collaborate and how companies interact with clients and partners. At the core of this digitally evolving world are data. Unlike traditional business, the value of data in the digital economy increases over time. This change in data value has led to new storage technology requirements depending on the business scenario:
- For real-time business analytics, large amounts of data require faster access times to stored data as long as they are relevant.
- Storage systems for critical data must be more scalable and provide greater resilience against failures.
- The extreme growth in the volume of unstructured data triggered by data services such as online archiving, file sharing, video on demand, etc., introduces new software-defined, highly scalable solutions for secondary storage.
- Backup and archiving require scaling to larger capacities.
