Big Data Infrastructure/Storage: Demand for Data Drives Infrastructure Spending
“Mobile devices are creating a culture where people expect data to be available on demand from anywhere at anytime. With data now available on the Cloud and in devices, businesses need to start taking it seriously,” said Andy Purvis, general manager of Acronis A/NZ. Consumers currently average 2.3 mobile devices each, but by 2015, the average will be closer to 4.7 devices.
On the business side, many companies are aggressively growing their analytics efforts from search to discovery, a change that’s causing them to increase their spending on infrastructure and data organization platforms. 61 percent of businesses say that they are adopting Big Data Analytics to help improve customer satisfaction.
The rapid growth of Big Data technology is a major force in driving the demand for storage. IDC is predicting that the market for Big Data and Analytics storage infrastructure will continue to grow at an annual rate of 53 percent through 2016. This market was just $379.9 million in 2011, but by 2016, it’s expected to reach $6 billion.
Ashish Nadkarni, IDC Storage Systems research director, said that “storage will be one of the biggest areas of infrastructure spending for big data and analytics environments… this growth will come largely from capacity-optimized systems (including dense enclosures), however, software-based distributed storage systems with internal disks to store post-processed data will also be embraced by some users.”
