| | March 20208ACCELERATING STORAGE INNOVATION IN THE NEXT DATA DECADEver the previous dec-ade, technology has transformed nearly every business into an IT-driven business. From farming to pharmaceuti-cals, these information technology developments have led organiza-tions to reimagine how they oper-ate, compete, and serve customers. Data is at the heart of these changes and will continue its transformative trajectory as organizations navigate the waves of technological progress in the next "Data Decade."In order to have strategic value in the enterprise, storage innova-tion must cross the capabilities chasm from just storing and mov-ing around bits to holistic data management. This year, there are three key areas we believe that will be difference-makers for organiza-tions that are pushing the limits of current storage and IT approaches.Trend #1: Machine learning and CPU Performance unlock new storage and data management approachesThere is a desire by customers in industries such as manufacturing, cybersecurity, autonomous vehi-cles, public safety and healthcare to build applications that treat data as streams instead of breaking it up into separate files or objects.Ingesting and processing stream data has unique challenges that limit traditional IT and storage systems. Since streaming workloads often change throughout the day ­ stor-age capacity and compute power must be elastic to accommodate. By treating everything as a data stream, event data can be replayed in the same way we watch a live sport-ing event on a DVR-enabled TV, where the program can be paused, rewound and replayed instantly. In the realm of data manage-ment, 2020 will usher in new ap-proaches for organizations wishing to better manage the data that is distributed across many silos of on-prem and cloud data stores. Data growth has been outstripping the growth of IT budgets for years, making it difficult for organizations not only to keep and store all their data, but manage, monetize, secure and make it useful for end users.Moreover, Dataset Management ­ an evolving discipline using vari-ous approaches and technologies to help organizations better use and manage data through its lifecycle will be in prominence in 2020. It offers organizations a bridge from the old world of directories and files to the new world of data and metadata. It will be useful for in-dustries (i.e. media & entertain-ment, healthcare, insurance) that frequently have data stored across different storage systems and plat-In order to have strategic value in the enterprise, storage innovation must cross the capabilities chasm from just storing and moving around bits to holistic data management By Amit Luthra, Director & GM ­ Storage & CI, India Commercial, Dell TechnologiesO IN MY OPINION
