Data Created (Datasphere) is different than Data Stored From a data creation perspective (solid lines in the core to be more than double the data Figure 3), endpoints are declining as a percent stored in the endpoint, completely reversing while the core and edge continue to produce the dynamic from 2015. Edge storage will also more. From a data storage perspective see significant growth as latency-sensitive (dotted lines in Figure 3), the amount of data services and applications proliferate being stored in endpoints will plummet as the throughout our world. core becomes the repository of choice for data of all types. By 2024, we expect data stored in Figure 3 – Where data is created and stored Creating and Storing Data by Core/Edge/Endpoint 80% 70% Endpoint-Create 60% Endpoint-Store 50% 40% Edge-Create 30% Edge-Store 20% Core-Create 10% Core-Store 0% 2010 2011 2012 2013 2014 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Source: Data Age 2025, sponsored by Seagate with data from IDC Global DataSphere, Nov 2018 We are beginning to understand the value of data mining and being able to bring together disparate data and systems that create that data. We don’t understand well enough how to do this in an efficient, cost-effective way. Right now, each system primarily creates its own data; each system manages its own data environment. – CISO/CFO, Leading Manufacturing Firm IDC White Paper I Doc# US44413318 I November 2018 The Digitization of the World – From Edge to Core I 9
