komprise-most-read-blogs-2021

Last year was a time when many enterprises started to get more strategic about data management and we saw that in our most popular blogs – which focused heavily on data tiering strategies, cloud storage and analytics. In 2022, we see continued interest in these tactics and topics, plus momentum behind cloud-based data lakes and analytics tools, a drive to make data more accessible and the need for data enrichment. Our CEO Kumar Goswami discusses these emerging unstructured data management trends in our last blog post of the year.
