Data Optimisation Survey reveals business advantages of Big Data

The business advantages of Big Data have been revealed in a joint Data Optimisation Survey published by Hitachi Data Systems and Computacenter.
 
According to the survey, 52.5% of businesses don’t have the processes to compress data, and 63.3% find it hard to move onto lower-cost storage options. However, with the right strategies put in place, organisations can exploit Big Data.
 
To explore the business opportunities of Big Data, organisations not only need the right internal IT skill sets but also the right storage architecture, analytical tools, and data policies.
 
Turning data into big opportunities can be simple, especially through optimising existing storage infrastructures. Deduplication, compression, archiving, and automated data tiering are just some of the proven storage optimisation options available to organisations.
 
Whilst opening up the doors to Big Data can lead to new business opportunities, it can also result in new risks. 37.6% of organisations find it hard to cope with legislations associated with Big Data. By optimising existing storage assets, organisations will be able to ensure both their IT infrastructure and corporate policies can keep up with the endless flow of terabytes.
