Large data processing drives cloud storage demand

The enterprise's IT strategy is being pressured to make changes, and cloud computing is becoming more and more important in correcting the solution. IDC analysts hope that enterprise it stores can increase the implementation of private cloud solutions. The core part of these cloud scenarios is often storage.

The cost of private cloud storage is expected to reach an annual growth rate of 28.9% per cent from 2010 to 2015. At this rate, private cloud storage will turn three times times 2015 years ago. This is larger than the current annual growth of 4% of internal storage. The report notes that while the next four years will see a huge increase in revenue from cloud services, the amount of money required for public clouds and private cloud providers is also huge. Over the next four years, private cloud and public cloud providers are expected to be the two biggest spenders of it products.

The main reason for the growth of cloud storage is the need for "big data", according to a report written by Richardvillars, vice chairman of the IDC storage and it execution strategy.

"The rise of ' cloud ' as an alternative way of delivering information services will continue to be one of the most important developments in IT market reform," Villars said. The storage industry has the potential to be the biggest beneficiary of this trend, but vendors must balance cloud customers ' growth requirements for low-cost hardware while driving advanced software solutions in areas such as target storage, automated tiered data, large data processing, and advanced archiving services.

The IDC report cites five reasons why companies support the cloud of internal storage solutions:

More efficient transfer of data or information to the application's Internet users.

Reduce the cost of infrastructure investment

Offset application responsiveness with unpredictable work

Cost of distributing long-term information files

Enables customers, collaborators, and machines to generate large data analysis for continuity and timeliness

"Over the next decade, big data development may be the most critical new market for storage solution providers," Villars said. The product mix-hardware, software, and implementation services-that provides a powerful and complete large data solution can be a key factor in success. Similarly, powerful dynamic document storage scenarios can be a key differentiator for private content/document cloud deployments. ”
