Big Data, Big Challenges

As data volumes continue to explode the global “datasphere”—the total amount of data created, captured, replicated and consumed—is growing at more than 20 percent a year and is forecast to reach approximately 291 zettabytes in 2027, according to market researcher IDC.

Many businesses and organizations are deriving huge value from all that data. They are analyzing it to gain insight about markets, their customers and their own operations. They are using the data to fuel digital transformation initiatives. And they are even using it to support new data-intensive services or packaging it into new data products.

But wrangling, managing and analyzing all this data is a major challenge. That’s why there is a steady stream of startup companies developing leading-edge technologies to help businesses access, collect, manage, move, transform, analyze, understand, measure, govern, maintain and secure all this data.
