Organizations that once stored gigabytes of data now find themselves having to manage petabytes or even exabytes across their IT infrastructures. The borderless Internet, which allows applications to reach nearly anywhere, is one reason for the unprecedented data growth. Perhaps an even bigger driver is the increasing use of the public cloud for highly accessible and cost-effective compute and storage services. To harness the value of their massive data volumes, companies are building modern, cloud-based data infrastructures that help them create a universal version of truth. These foundations unify siloed pockets of data for a holistic view, empowering everyone in an organization to make better-informed decisions and act with confidence.
