Data Storage Trends is the topic that has been circling in the world of web since quite some time now and it’s extremely necessary to keep a tab on these trends as it will influence corporate strategy and procuring for storage in 2016.
Here are the top trends for Data Storage that will have an impact on your business this year.
Flash workstations with centrally stored data
This year there will be more of desktop and laptop computers that are going to be set with flash storage instead of hard drives with data stored centrally in the cloud or in the data center.
Tiered storage automation
It’s been analyzed that a vast number of enterprise data centers will adopt high levels of automation in tiered storage methodologies in 2016. This way you can automatically write and retrieve frequently accessed data to raid media like flash/solid state disks. It is going to instantly write and store rarely accessed data to cheap and much slower hard drives and tape drives.
Storage convergence on the hybrid cloud
Cloud technology has been in use since over a decade still businesses face issues executing hybrid data storage that can incorporate public cloud data, private cloud data and data center data.
Hybrid cloud market is emergent at an annual compound rate of 29.22% over the period of 2014 to 2019, and this year we expect it to witness IT and storage vendors that persistently progress in creating methodologies. This way the companies can easily move data between several types of cloud and data center repositories easily.
Data plays pivotal role on the corporate balance sheet
We see that industry analysts and regulators execute active discussions regarding whether data should be seen as an asset on corporate balance sheets or not. In that scenario internal insights about the importance of storage will go on a rise, cheering for more corporate investments into higher end forms of storage and automated storage management systems.
Falling flash prices
The beginning of the year indicates that the value/price of flash/solid state storage had dropped by 75 percent, which has led to a trend that opened the wallet of data centers to insert more flash and solid state memory into their storage systems.
Hard Drive has been reinvented
Just like earlier, hard drives will continue to rule in 2016 as well noting they have an amazingly long tenure in enterprise data centers. The Intel delivers new hard drive technology in 2016 with its Optane drives and it uses a 3D Xpoint chip that is able to hold data even when the hard drive powers down. It also uses an amazing way to store digital data that is able to operate as much as 1,000 times as fast as the flash memory technology inside hard drives, memory sticks, and mobile devices.
Now it remains to be seen how you make your business adopt these breakthrough trends in 2016.
