What are the expectations of data
management in the next 12 months?
Data is vital for every single organisation,
so companies are now looking at their data
management platforms and strategies and
considering how to move data. I think the
expectations of data management are
surrounding how you move data from the
Edge to the cloud.
We see what we call data gravity which
means that the size of the data centre is so
huge that it becomes hard to move data.
This is particularly when you start applying
intelligence to video, for example. What you
don’t want is for your data centre to get so

huge that gravity holds data back from being
moved to a different location to analyse it
before moving it back.
Firstly, it becomes slower and then the cost
of maths of doing it becomes prohibitive so
we see the need to analyse data at the point
of leave and at the point of action where
there are large sets and then you manage
and move back only the data that you need
into your cloud-enabled environment, rather
than moving everything back.
So, your data management platforms
enabling that is really important. So,
what we consider now is how intelligence
has become embedded in the very fabric of

IS THAT
