Internet-connected machines and devices, such as video cameras, high-resolution image capture on manufacturing floors, data logging in connected cars, surveillance cameras, drones, and more are producing massive volumes of unstructured data at the rate of Terabytes per day (and in some cases Terabytes per hour).
Some quick math:
We are finding that this “machine and device-generated” unstructured data may not always be visible to CIOs, and large enterprises are suffering from unstructured data sprawl. If you are storing much of this data in the cloud, you may have multiple copies that you are paying for every month.
How Do You Protect and Store Your Unstructured Data for Decades?
The typical approach is to keep doing what you are doing – keep it all on scale-out NAS and try to protect it as best you can. But in the face of the exponential velocity and volume of this data being generated, traditional approaches are breaking down. Compounding the problem is that much of this data needs to be stored and protected for decades. This introduces an added element of complexity – how do you protect multiple PB’s of data and store it cost-effectively for decades?
