What Level of Data Infrastructure Do Businesses Require In This Era of Edge Computing?

How valuable is data, and what level of data infrastructure do businesses require in this era of edge computing?

From consumer wearables to industry hardware to transportation infrastructure, devices are creating more data, more often. These data infuse intelligence into every business, empowering insights and enabling leaders to make decisions that fuel growth and competitive advantage.

We are also witnessing a clear shift in the 'gravity' of data towards the edge – the location outside of the traditional centralized data center core, closer to the endpoint device where data is created, such as a factory floor or the base of a cellphone tower. Since the edge is closer to the endpoints, data can make the roundtrip in fewer milliseconds to enable faster decision-making.

Enterprises must now streamline and secure the data across the endpoint, edge, and the core. Their role as a data steward continues to grow in importance, enabling better business insights and consumer experiences.

Seagate's Jeff Nygaard and BS Teh, together with IDC's Dave Reinsel, discuss the need for organizations to take a multi-faceted approach to harness the value and business potential of their data, and why they must understand the importance of data storage at the edge, due to the need for seamless data movement and data security.

See the discussion below to understand the scenario.
