How software ushered in a new age of data storage (Part 2)

Here, we continue to explore the drivers behind the evolution of software, its game-changing capabilities, its challenges, and how far along organisations are in realising the full potential of software over hardware in the data storage industry. We asked a number of industry influencers and vendors for their views, culminating in a future outlook of software in data storage.

Making the most of production data: Moving away from big data towards smart data

It has been reported that around 90 percent of data generated in a manufacturing plant typically doesn't get used to build insights that can really help the business. While this is concerning, it's not surprising since data is often siloed and unavailable to the people that could benefit from it most.

Edge or cloud – Finding the best computing paradigm for industrial applications
- Software - Cloud / Edge / Big Data
- (19/12/2023)
Both edge and cloud computing are computing paradigms that involve data processing and storage. While these two different approaches can be used for differing needs in the landscape of technology, it’s also possible to take a hybrid approach. Choosing between these approaches depends on factors such as latency requirements, data sensitivity, resource availability and specific use cases. .
