Customer Trends in Unstructured Data Management & Storage
Komprise internal research on its customers during Q4 of 2022 uncovered several trends which will likely persist throughout the coming year. Customers are looking to prioritize time and investment in the following areas.
- Reducing IT spending by pivoting to more of an OPEX environment and by deleting data that is no longer needed to reduce storage costs and complexity.
- Simplifying infrastructure, getting rid of legacy apps and software and data center consolidation to support business growth and IT modernization.
- Managing research workflows and the full lifecycle of data: Examples include, from a major university: enabling users to share data between labs and send some data to the cloud for processing, then bring it back on-premises.
- Use industry standards to move data easily between platforms.
- Externalize (tier) data off NAS: IT and storage managers want to tier cold data from across the business to cheaper, secondary storage to save money and free up primary storage capacity.
“Every enterprise IT organization today is looking to cut costs as they modernize and simplify how their users can get faster access to data,” says Krishna Subramanian, COO and cofounder of Komprise. “This is why unstructured data management is becoming a must-have strategy for companies to be efficient, stop overspending on data storage, ensure successful migrations to the cloud and generate new value from data.”
