Look to the future or your past will drag you down, says Huawei Huawei Wed 20 Jan 2021 // 23:00 UTC Share Copy Sponsored The world is creating more data than ever, and on an unimaginable scale. Data could reach an incredible 180ZB (one zettabyte = one million petabytes) by 2025, according to Gartner, the tech advisory and analyst firm. The complexity of data is also growing apace. For example, millions of IoT nodes - “dedicated-function objects, such as vending machines, jet engines, connected cars and a myriad of other examples” writes Gartner - are capturing data that can be turned into actionable insights. The data deluge is inevitable, but how can we harness this to enable digital transformation? Organisations need to be able to store, protect, analyse and migrate the data - and without breaking the bank. But to do this requires having the right technology infrastructure in place.
