Data volumes continue to grow, making it increasingly difficult to deal with the explosive growth. Huawei predicts that by 2030, the total data generated worldwide will exceed one YB, equivalent to 280 bytes or a quadrillion gigabytes. Whichever way you look at it, such numbers are beyond imagination. And that’s just on the volume side. Equally, if not more important, is the need for enhanced data storage and management to handle new applications. These applications require faster parallel processing of data in diverse formats. This implies that the interaction between data storage and data applications is being redesigned, leading to the emergence of new data paradigms.
