New analysis from knowledge analytics options agency Ocient uncovers key traits round how organizations are managing the shift from big-data volumes towards ingesting, storing and analyzing hyperscale knowledge units, which embody trillions of knowledge data, and the anticipated technical necessities and enterprise outcomes from that shift.
The agency’s new report, Past Large Knowledge: The Rise of Hyperscale, relies on a survey carried out in Could 2022 by Propeller Insights.
Extraordinary knowledge progress
Knowledge is rising at a unprecedented price. “The International DataSphere is predicted to greater than double in dimension from 2022 to 2026,” stated John Rydning, analysis vp of the IDC International DataSphere, a measure of how a lot new knowledge is created, captured, replicated, and consumed annually, in a information launch. “The Enterprise DataSphere will develop greater than twice as quick because the Shopper DataSphere over the subsequent 5 years, placing much more strain on enterprise organizations to handle and shield the world’s knowledge whereas creating alternatives to activate knowledge for enterprise and societal advantages.”
IDC International DataSphere analysis additionally documented that “in 2020, 64.2 zettabytes of knowledge was created or replicated” and forecasted that “world knowledge creation and replication will expertise a compound annual progress price (CAGR) of 23 p.c over the 2020-2025 forecast interval.” At that price, greater than 180 zettabytes—that’s 180 billion terabytes—can be created in 2025.
The survey respondents replicate forecasts of such exponential knowledge progress. When requested how briskly the quantity of knowledge managed by their group will develop over the subsequent one to 5 years, 97 p.c of respondents answered “quick” to “very quick,” with 72 p.c of C-level executives anticipating the quantity to develop “very quick” over the subsequent 5 years.
Limitations to supporting knowledge progress and hyperscale analytics
To help such super knowledge progress, 98 p.c of respondents agreed it’s considerably or crucial to extend the quantity of knowledge analyzed by their organizations within the subsequent one to 3 years. Nevertheless, respondents are experiencing obstacles to harnessing the complete capability of their knowledge and cited these high three limiting elements:
- The amount of knowledge is rising too quick (62 p.c whole, 65 p.c C-level)
- There’s a lack of expertise to research the information (49 p.c whole, 47 p.c C-level)
- Present options will not be versatile sufficient (49 p.c whole, 34.8 p.c C-level)
When requested about their largest knowledge evaluation ache factors at the moment, safety and threat ranked first amongst C-level respondents (68 p.c), with metadata and governance (41 p.c) and gradual knowledge ingestion (31 p.c) being two different high issues. When scaling knowledge administration and evaluation inside their group, 63 p.c stated sustaining safety and compliance as knowledge quantity and desires develop was a problem they’re presently going through.
Survey respondents additionally indicated legacy techniques are one other supply of ache and a barrier to supporting knowledge progress and hyperscale analytics. When requested in the event that they plan to modify knowledge warehousing options, greater than 59 p.c of respondents answered “sure,” with 46% of respondents citing a legacy system motivating them to modify. When rating their most necessary issues in selecting a brand new knowledge warehouse know-how, “modernizing our IT infrastructure” was ranked primary.
Quicker knowledge analytics enhance selections, income and success
The survey respondents consider hyperscale knowledge analytics is essential to their success. Sixty-four p.c of respondents point out hyperscale knowledge analytics gives necessary insights used to make higher enterprise selections, and 62 p.c stated it’s important for planning and technique.
The survey respondents additionally indicated there’s a robust relationship between implementing quicker knowledge analytics and rising the corporate’s backside line. When requested about this relationship, an amazing 78 p.c of respondents agreed there’s a particular relationship. For the C-level viewers, greater than 85 p.c cited the connection.
“Knowledge evaluation is now not a ‘nice-to-have’ for organizations. Hyperscale knowledge intelligence has turn into a mission-critical element for contemporary enterprises and authorities businesses trying to drive extra affect and develop their backside line. With the speedy tempo of progress, it’s crucial for enterprises and authorities businesses to boost their skill to ingest, retailer, and analyze fast-growing knowledge units in a method that’s safe and price efficient,” stated Chris Gladwin, co-founder and CEO at Ocient, within the launch. “The flexibility emigrate from legacy techniques and purchase or construct new knowledge evaluation capabilities for quickly rising workloads will allow enterprises and authorities organizations to drive new ranges of agility and progress that have been beforehand solely possible.”

The report relies on a survey of 500 knowledge and know-how leaders, throughout quite a lot of industries, who’re managing energetic knowledge workloads of 150 terabytes or extra. Respondents embody companions, house owners, presidents, C-level executives, vice presidents and administrators in lots of industries together with know-how, manufacturing, monetary companies, retail, and authorities. Their organizations’ annual income ranges from $50 million to greater than $5 billion. Roughly 50% of respondents characterize corporations with annual income higher than $500 million.
