Data in the big data age, future storage development trend

With the rapid development of the Internet, cloud computing, mobile terminals and IoT, global data volumes have doubled every two years and have officially entered the ZB ERA in 2010, and the total global data will reach 44zb by 2020. In addition to data growth, enterprises also face the number of equipment, application quantity, trading volume and other aspects of the situation multiplied, the challenges facing the future enterprises still have a lot of uncertainty, large data, cloud computing, mobile, social is deeply affecting the changing trend of enterprise it.

The Big data of Shari

The three most obvious features of large data are the rapid growth of data volumes, the rapid increase in data types, and the rapid improvement of the analysis speed. In the face of these changes, enterprises in the selection of information infrastructure for large data, the first consideration is the information infrastructure for a large number of data storage capacity, and in the large amount of data to ensure the timeliness of computational analysis. Based on these requirements, it is important to select the infrastructure equipment with large capacity, high scalability, high-performance, and Multi service load capacity to carry the application of large data. IDC China market data show that in 2013, 60% of the big data-related investment in the infrastructure. Without an efficient infrastructure, large data applications are hard to implement.

Cloud Computing in the cloud

Cloud computing is the most enthusiastic technology of internet discussion in recent years, which is regarded as the third it revolution after microcomputer and Internet, and it is the trend of Internet development. The rapid development of cloud computing today is the result of demand-driven, technological progress and business model transformation. When the enterprise's IT system gradually to the cloud transformation, open, sharing has become the most important, with the continuous development of virtualization technology, the difference between the servers are blocked, computing capacity can be flexibly distributed according to different business requirements, and the network layer is also standardized, the cost of networking is significantly reduced; When the computing layer and the network layer resources complete the on-demand supply, the problem of the storage layer is highlighted. Capacity, performance, and resource demand supply become the key to cloud storage implementation. IDC, a world-renowned consultancy, has shown that the 2014 cloud storage capacity will exceed 7eb, with large data applications such as pictures, media, and files becoming the fastest growing applications in cloud deployments. If companies are to deploy their business to the cloud, they need the cloud to provide professional storage services and support local and cloud data flows, as well as disaster preparedness and business migration. As a storage system designed for future cloud architectures, it should have the characteristics of orderly and efficient flow of data between private cloud resource pools and public clouds.

Mobile interconnection of global communication

With the rapid development of broadband wireless access technology and mobile terminal technology, people are eager to be able to access information and services from the Internet conveniently anytime, anywhere and in the mobile process, and the mobile Internet has developed rapidly. To date, the total number of mobile internet users worldwide has exceeded 1 billion. The 24-hour online experience brings a burst of data growth that poses challenges to storage capacity and scalability. In this era of user experience, the ability to quickly and accurately upload or download data into the hands of users has also become a measure of whether a storage device can go farther in the mobile internet trend of important assessment indicators.

Social media to play around with your fingertips

Today our lives have been surrounded by a variety of social media software, where people share the hottest images on Facebook and Google +, push new and playful ideas on Weibo and Twitter, and post their current mood in micro-letters. Social media is a "service" for individuals, a Web service to keep in touch with old friends, a network of networking, and a "service" for like-minded friends that have led us into the digital "pan-social age". From another perspective, "social media" can also be a kind of media, because in this network platform, countless information is filtered and disseminated by the nodes (people) in the network, and valuable news will be quickly spread around the world. This data flowing on the fingertips, as people spread, gradually converged into the torrent of data, scouring the traditional IT system. A rich variety of data types, fragmented data, real-time publishing and access to information mechanisms, the IT system once again challenged. First, the IT infrastructure platform for social media must have resilient scalability, to meet the changing usage patterns; Secondly, as the carrier of mass data, the storage system needs to realize the fusion of data, the structure and the unstructured data coexist harmoniously, and the storing and reading of the information should be equally efficient. Finally, The performance of the storage is also an important measure of the freedom of the user to wander through the pleasures of their fingertips.

Large data, cloud computing, mobile, socialization of the four leading trends in driving the IT market, in such a data-oriented era, as the carrier of data persistence, in addition to the storage system to have the basic characteristics of security and reliability, simple, flexible, efficient and will become the future storage system must be the characteristics.
