Data, Data Everywhere
Modern technology continues to create larger and larger volumes of data. First we have ever increasing levels of precision in the macro and micro whelms of Scientific Visualization with big decimals and many values before and after the decimal point. Molecular Biology and genetics are also creating large libraries of genomes, proteins, and pattern matches within DNA and RNA transcripts. The second area of growth and complexity includes proliferation of devices from IoT and sensors, to phones and tablets, to data centers, cloud, and hybrid environments. As technology continues to evolve, we can expect these interactions to increase exponentially and the number of devices continues to grow. These devices often need to work together in complex coordinated ways to process data into information for presentation to systems and users that consume them A third trend that is ever present is increased volumes of Network Traffic. Web sites continue to grow in length and complexity with larger footprint in terms of number of pages, and pages themselves growing larger every day. Increased analytics also contribute as businesses want to know where there traffic is being directed, and consumer trends that indicate buying activities. These and other trends are driving the need for Next Generation Storage Strategies to overcome challenges in a fast paced Digital world.
