/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// FEATURE: DATA MANAGEMENT It’s all about you: Keep your data in check with a tailored solution Data is growing at a staggering rate and managing it in a cost-effective and efficient way is therefore becoming increasingly difficult across every industry. Krishna Subramanian, COO at Komprise, discusses having a strategic approach to data management to create business benefits. T he world is currently experiencing a data growth explosion and businesses need to meet the demands of this or risk falling behind their competitors. Advances in technology are increasing by the day and IDC predicts that the world’s data will increase by more than five times between 2018 and 2025, to a staggering 175 Zettabytes. Not only is this going to cause challenges due to its volume, but also because much of the data will be unstructured and this forces businesses to rethink their data management capabilities. Therefore, implementing the most cost- effective solution that still brings increased efficiency for IT teams should be the main priority for business leaders. To add to the confusion, many businesses are also planning to consolidate their data across all of their storage systems, but this is not an easy process to get right. There’s never a ‘one-size-fits-all’ solution, meaning most businesses rely on multiple solutions, creating the need for a simple way to manage data across them all. www.intelligentcio.com INTELLIGENTCIO 55
