Data is at the heart of digital transformation, consumers were responsible for much of their Cloud is the new core manufacturing and financial services are the engagements and resetting their expectations have data infrastructures that can meet this the lifeblood of this digitization process. own data, but their reliance on and trust of One of the key drivers of growth in the core is leading industries in terms of maturity, with for data delivery. As their digital world growth in real-time data. Today, companies are leveraging data to today’s cloud services, especially from the shift to the cloud from traditional media and entertainment most in need of a overlaps with their physical realities, they improve customer experiences, open new connectivity, performance, and convenience datacenters. As companies continue to pursue jump start. expect to access products and services Today, more than 5 billion consumers interact markets, make employees and processes more perspectives, continues to increase while the the cloud (both public and private) for data wherever they are, over whatever connection with data every day – by 2025, that number productive, and create new sources of need to store and manage data locally processing needs, cloud datacenters are China's Datasphere on pace to they have, and on any device. They want data will be 6 billion, or 75% of the world's competitive advantage – working toward the continues to decrease. Moreover, businesses becoming the new enterprise data repository. becoming the largest in the world in the moment, on the go, and personalized. population. In 2025, each connected person future of tomorrow. are looking to centralize data management In essence, the cloud is becoming the new core. Every geographic region has its own This places greater demand on both the edge will have at least one data interaction every and delivery (e.g., online video streaming, In 2025 IDC predicts that 49% of the world’s Datasphere size and trajectories that are and the core to be able to produce the 18 seconds. Many of these interactions are Global Datasphere expansion is data analytics, data security, and privacy) as stored data will reside in public cloud impacted by population, digital precise data consumers require, often in because of the billions of IoT devices never-ending well as to leverage data to control their environments. transformation progress, IT spend and real-time. IDC predicts that due to the infusion connected across the globe, which are IDC has defined three primary locations where businesses and the user experience maturity, and many other metrics. For of data into our business workflows and expected to create over 90ZB of data in 2025. digitization is happening and where digital (e.g., machine-to-machine communication, Introducing the world's first data example, China’s Datasphere is expected to personal streams of life, that nearly 30% of content is created: the core (traditional and IoT, persistent personalization profiling). The grow 30% on average over the next 7 years the Global Datasphere will be real-time by readiness condition (DATCON) index cloud datacenters), the edge responsibility to maintain and manage all this Not all industries are prepared for their and will be the largest Datasphere of all 2025. Enterprises looking to provide superior (enterprise-hardened infrastructure like cell consumer and business data supports the digitally transformed future. So, to help regions by 2025 (compared to EMEA, APJxC, customer experience and grow share must towers and branch offices), and the endpoints growth in cloud provider datacenters. As a companies understand their level of data U.S., and Rest of World) as its connected (PCs, smart phones, and IoT devices). The result, the enterprise’s role as a data steward readiness, IDC developed a DATCON (DATa population grows and its video surveillance summation of all this data, whether it is continues to grow, and consumers are not readiness CONdition) index, designed to infrastructure proliferates. (APJxC includes created, captured, or replicated, is called the just allowing this, but expecting it. Beginning analyze various industries regarding their own Asia-Pacific countries, including Japan, but Global Datasphere, and it is experiencing in 2019, more data will be stored in the Datasphere, level of data management, usage, not China.) tremendous growth. IDC predicts that the enterprise core than in all the world's leadership, and monetization capabilities.

As companies increase the digitization of their To keep up with the storage demands Manufacturing’s Datasphere is by far the business and drive consistent and better stemming from all this data creation, IDC IDC predicts that largest given its maturity, investment in IoT, customer experiences, consumers are forecasts that over 22 ZB of storage capacity the Global Datasphere and 24x7 operations, and we found that embracing these personalized real-time must ship across all media types from 2018 to will grow from 2025, with nearly 59% of that capacity supplied from the HDD industry. 33 Zettabytes An enterprise renaissance is on the in 2018 to horizon 175 Zettabytes The enterprise is fast becoming the world's by 2025 data steward…again.
