THE FUTURE OF STORAGE
RING8 is the foundation for hybrid cloud storage and data management.
The Growth of Edge Devices and Core Data
The proliferation of connected edge devices coming online, creating and consuming data, is changing the way data needs to be managed.
Edge Devices
Gartner and IDC estimate that between 25 Billion (Gartner) to 31 Billion (IDC) connected edge devices will exist by 2021, hence billions of connected edge devices and users will create and consume exabytes of data.
Core Clouds
The cloud landscape is changing: data is spread across core clouds, within the Enterprise datacenter, and public clouds, managed by hyperscalers, MSPs and Telcos. IDC estimates up to 39,000 core cloud locations will exist by 2021.
Service Edges
Core Locations
“IDC estimates up to 7 million of these “service edges” will be created in venues such as airports, ships, military bases, oil exploration platforms, stadiums, hospitals, public buildings and more.”

Unstructured Data Problems are Arising
Exabytes of unstructured data will continue to grow
Durability
Data stored for long periods of time must be maintained properly.
Data Management
Problems will magnify through proliferation of data
Mobilization
Information will need to be replicated and transitioned across data centers.
Visibility and Control
Enterprises will have a lack of visibility and control over their data or risk lock in.
Cost
Massive increases in data increase the need for cost management.
