Meeting the challenge of unstructured data
Businesses around the world are relying more on big data than ever before. But it’s crucial that they know the right way to store and protect their data as well as knowing how to use it effectively.
Communications and managed infrastructure specialist XO Communications has produced an infographic looking at how intelligent networking can be used to manage the rise in unstructured data use.
It shows that the average enterprise will need to manage 50 times more information by 2020, but with only a 1.5 percent increase in IT staffing. Also that more than 90 percent of the data in today’s enterprises is unstructured.
Of 1,800 IT professionals surveyed 48 percent expect network loads to double over the next two years and 23 percent expect them to triple. 81 percent say that cloud computing will be needed to handle their big data projects.
