OUR 2017 PREDICTIONS

The IT industry is moving at an unprecedented pace.

With e�ective data management no longer the sole domain

of the IT department, there are many options and

choices available for investment.

To assist, we’ve pulled together our

top predictions for 2017.

ONE: SOFTWARE DEFINED STORAGE MOVES OUT OF THE LAB AND INTO PRODUCTION Enterprises can avoid vendor lock-in, increase use of cloud, plus rapidly deploy new applications and services

TWO: THE STORAGE INDUSTRY WILL CONTINUE TO BE “ALL SHOOK UP” Point solution vendors will fall by the wayside – Data Management Platform providers will continue to rise

THREE: THE WAR FOR TALENT WILL GET FIERCER Companies are increasingly seeking to expand their ability to reach, recruit, motivate and retain top talent – working within today’s global immigration policies

FOUR: RANSOMWARE WILL GET EVEN MORE PROLIFIC AND SERIOUS IN 2017 To manage the potential threats – data recovery strategy discussions need to take place at board level

FIVE: CLOUD COST MODELS NEED TO (AND WILL) EVOLVE As enterprises embrace hybrid infrastructure models, current pricing models for moving data between on-premises and cloud is becoming unsustainable

SIX: INTELLIGENT DATA MANAGEMENT IS NO LONGER A LUXURY – BUT A NECESSITY FOR ENTERPRISES Traditional data management solutions simply will not cope with the growing need to manage the interaction between data lakes, transparently protect data and ensure compliance with new EU and data governance regulations
