Business opportunities and market prospects for horizontal extended storage in China

Under the birth of broadband, mobile Internet, IoT, social network, cloud computing. The big data age is coming quietly. A study by IDC (Internet Data Center) says the world's big data will grow at 5O times over the next decade, and computing is everywhere and the data is exploding. In China, the trend is particularly clear, with more than 590 million internet users in China, blogs, micro-credit users and more than 400 million, the number of new intelligence boats has reached 300 million, and new PCs and tablet users are far more than 100 million. Behind these figures is the explosive growth of data generation and access.

The arrival of the large data age opportunities for scale-out storage belt industry

The internet has entered tens of thousands of households, with our work, life, entertainment into one, inseparable, especially the mobile intelligent terminals a large number of universal access to the Internet equipment is becoming massive and diverse (smart phones, flat computer, notebook power and so on). has spawned the Internet.

Data traffic has multiplied. With the advent of the 4G network era, broadband universal access to fiber-optic homes, high-definition video storage and so on, which makes the data flow rapidly soaring.

Meanwhile, the construction of Intelligent City will also produce a lot of data, the first level of intelligent city as an example, the amount of video collected every day around 2PB, there will be 250 cities in the future to join the wisdom of urban construction boom, so that the amount of data generated daily will be staggering. The data generated by the city's video surveillance are often accessed, searched, analyzed, and processed, and such data are referred to as thermal teaching, such as security, video surveillance and other industries will produce a lot of hot data every day.

Statistics show that more than 80% of the data will be generated by the internet temperature and cold data. Most of the temperature data from the social network of pictures and video sharing, such as micro-bo, micro-letter, Cntv on-demand video, and cold data means that the state of the data is not active, the frequency of data access and real-time requirements, such as network cloud disk and backup.

Today, the data scale expands rapidly, the data type is more and more complex, has gone beyond the traditional data management system, the processing pattern ability scope, by the arrival which and so on mobile device, intelligent terminal led the post-PC age to make the unstructured data and the semi-structured data rapid growth, The sheer size and complexity of the data make traditional data storage patterns difficult to deal with, providing a huge market opportunity for scale-out storage.

Huge potential for scale-out storage market

The large data age provides market opportunities for horizontal extended storage, while the many technical advantages of lateral storage are important factors to promote its rapid development compared with vertical storage.

Scale-out Storage architecture enhances product availability and reliability. It integrates standard server nodes or storage controllers in a distributed way, with computing power and storage capabilities for each node, which brings a linear increase in storage capacity and overall system processing capabilities.

Scale-out storage architecture greatly reduces operational costs. It uses a large number of standard components, through the software and Intel architecture hardware to solve the overall system performance, expansion and stability problems. Users can find more solutions to meet their own needs in the market, and optimize investment efficiency. Scale-out storage architecture at the same time with a variety of technical means embankment for automation and rapid data recovery, this process does not require any human intervention.

In short, compared with the traditional vertical deposit, the horizontal extended storage has high performance, high reliability, high scalability, low cost, low TCO and other advantages, suitable for a variety of data analysis and processing, rapid deployment, especially in the era of information explosion, horizontal extended storage will help enterprises to seize the opportunity in the storage area.

In addition, the enterprise business within the paperless and digital transformation, server virtualization and desktop virtualization high-speed growth also provides a broad market space for horizontal expansion of storage. Since 2011, industries led by China's largest Internet companies have started to build cloud platforms that support both internal and external businesses. These early users tended to use a scale-out frame color as a platform for their data storage and processing. Data from the idc.2012 year show that the market share of the 2013 Scale-out storage architecture will reach 625.4 million and is expected to exceed 1.33 billion by 2017.

Intel helps Chinese companies get more business opportunities

To cope with the rapid growth of massive data, organizations need to improve the way data is stored, moved, protected, and accessed with smarter, more flexible storage architectures, making it the best choice for a scale-out storage solution. This new architecture creates a dynamic, flexible environment that supports data growth at a lower total cost, and supports secure, anytime-to-visit data.

Scale-out Storage will bring new development opportunities to the enterprise. A scale-out storage solution based on Intel's architecture, with its excellent performance, strong data protection, and scalability to help enterprises respond flexibly to data explosion, improve data center processing efficiency, and support emerging usage patterns.

At the same time, Intel provides open, thoughtful and excellent technical support for storage solutions with diverse needs in different industries, and delivers superior storage applications and solutions to the marketplace with a large number of partners based on End-to-end product technology.

In the future, Intel will work with channel users to meet the challenges of large data storage and continue to provide customized data storage solutions for Chinese companies with their platform-color innovations, helping more and more partners to gain market opportunities. We have been making unremitting efforts to this end.
