According to IDC, over the next three years, humanity will create more data than in the past thirty years. Billions of connected systems generate countless sets of contextualized data from video surveillance to the user and sensor information that needs to be received, converted and analyzed, and then these data and information will begin to be of value to various industries, companies and individual users. Older versions of architectures no longer keep pace with modern data volumes and cannot function in appropriate environments. The challenge is to build a data storage and processing infrastructure that, on the one hand, is efficient and cost-effective and, on the other, can meet the growing information needs of the zettabyte era. Storage is a critical and fundamental component for creating such new architectures and extracting valuable information from data.
