Today, organizations of all sizes are producing large volumes of unstructured data on a regular basis, driven by a rise in streaming applications, IoT deployments, and high-resolution video and images. In fact, International Data Corporation (IDC) predicts that 80% of all data will be unstructured by 2025. The need to use the right storage architecture to manage and protect large data sets is more important than ever.
Object storage is rapidly replacing storage area networks (SAN) and network-attached storage (NAS) because of its innovative properties that allow enterprises to easily manage immense data sets.
