Embedded Computing Design

The cloud, artificial intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), autonomous vehicles, smart video, and other advanced applications are driving a level of data growth the world has never seen. According to analyst firm IDC, the amount of new data created, captured, replicated and consumed each year is expected to double by 2026 – eventually nearing the 200 zettabyte barrier.

Times are changing as digital transformation initiatives have led to a tidal wave of data. As a result, storage has become one of the most critical components of keeping pace with this data revolution. It’s affecting companies of all sizes, especially hyperscale companies—such as the largest search, social, entertainment, and e-commerce companies in the world. Scaling efficiently and cost-effectively to meet data growth in a manner that is sustainable and environmentally friendly is paramount to their success
