Big Data Challenges

Managing file data that is exceeding 60% CAGR. This is a complex and costly challenge that frequently exceeds limited budgets for both CAPEX and OPEX.

Scale-Out NAS customers want to maximize their storage efficiency.

Big Data requires that as much of the management burden of provisioning capacity and managing hot spot is eliminated by management intelligence embedded within the storage environment.

Businesses in all markets demand to have critical user and application data always available. They require a storage solution where availability scales with capacity and where data protection levels are based on the needs of the business not the limitations of the storage system.

Across all market segments, businesses are challenged with managing the unrelenting growth of unstructured, file data without increasing storage costs. As they continue to reinvest in their traditional storage architecture to solve this Big Data challenge they are experiencing; increased capital outlays, silos of storage, and rising operational costs that exceed IT budgets.

There is a need for more scalable file storage solution infrastructure to meet growth as the physical scalability limits of traditional storage systems have become an operational problem and are a drain on CAPEX and OPEX.

Big Data requires a storage system that is cost effective and that is simple to deploy, maintain, and grow.
