Digital Data Storage Outlook 2018

October 20, 2018

Despite Winston’s Churchill’s admonition to avoid predictions until after events occur, Spectra Logic is publishing its third annual Data Storage Outlook that casts an eye on the future regarding the storage, management and preservation of the world’s treasury of digital information. Knowledge and digital data play vital roles in our global society and, with the digital world exploding at unprecedented rates, digital information must be captured, leveraged and contained for years to come. And, in many cases, must be preserved indefinitely. Predicting future data storage needs and the technologies to satisfy them may not be as exciting as downloading the latest app or playing a virtual reality game, but it is important to storage and media manufacturers, application developers, and all sizable users of data. Understanding future costs, technologies, and applications is vital to today’s planning and tomorrow’s success.

More data will be created in 2017 than during the previous 20,000 years of humanity. Yet, less than 0.5% of all data is used for decision making. Historically, decision making was intuition driven due to lack of data; today it is still intuition driven due to data-overload. To stay ahead, decision-makers need the capability to consume vast amounts of data quickly, and not rely solely on intuition. Zdaly helps you achieve this by leveraging Artificial Intelligence to empower Human Intelligence.

Effective Data Management Is Essential for Taming the 5G Network Complexity Beast

whitePaper | September 26, 2022

Communications service provider (SP) traffic volumes are progressively increasing as networks evolve, user devices gain greater capacity, and applications engaging with advanced network data such as that from the 5G standalone (5G SA) network exposure function (NEF) start to deliver on customer expectations. Cloudification of network functions — virtualized network functions (VNFs) and cloud-native network functions (CNFs) — is placing new burdens on old systems and processes not designed to manage intent-based network architecture. Silos of data locked within many installed systems keep transformation efforts from reaching anticipated objectives.

Are Predictive Analytics Truly Predictive?

whitePaper | April 19, 2023

Unplanned downtime is one of the most significant pain points for industrial manufacturers today, costing them an estimated $50 billion each year. The risk is even greater for process manufacturing, where a critical equipment failure could result in the loss of an entire batch, environmental hazards, or safety risks. The adoption of digital technologies, such as the industrial internet of things (IIoT), promises to mitigate these threats by forecasting equipment failures and catching faults before they lead to unscheduled shutdowns. However, in practice, several challenges arise when maintenance personnel and operations leaders work to implement an IIoT solution aimed at eliminating unplanned downtime.
