Every digital interaction creates data, resulting in the exponential data growth we are experiencing today. In fact, from 2010 to 2020, the volume of data generated, captured, copied and consumed in the world increased from 1.2 trillion gigabytes to 59 trillion gigabytes, almost 5,000% growth. And with organizations leveraging data to drive innovation and profits, data management needs will continue to grow.

With this explosion of data, managing the different types of data becomes more complex because it’s increasingly difficult to determine what’s useful and what isn’t. As such, organizations may struggle to determine how data should be managed and used. For example, computing applications – such as data backup, disaster recovery, unstructured data, objects, testing/development, archives and analytics – are often fragmented across a complex patchwork of specialized products and infrastructure silos in the data centre and cloud.

And when it comes to securing data and protecting it, it’s important to realize that they are not the same functions. Data security is all about access, while protection is about protecting the data from unauthorized users through different forms of encryption, key management and authentication.

With the exponential growth of data, simplifying its management, protection, governance and security is paramount to enable organizations to effectively analyze and monetize their data and make strategic decisions more effectively. Ones and zeros will continue to explode. The question is, how will you manage the exponential growth of data for your organization in the next decade?
