PROACTIVE PLANNING?

9. PRE PANDEMIC DATA GROWTH
2019
There were more than 4.5 billion people online!
Netflix’s content volume in 2019 outnumbered that of
the US TV industry in 2005!
The number of emails sent every minute was 188 million!
Every 24 hours, 500 million tweets are tweeted on
Twitter!
Google 3.7 million queries, Facebook 1 million logins,
and YouTube 4.5 million videos are viewed – every 60s!
2020
At the beginning of 2020, the
digital universe was estimated
consist of 44 zettabytes (44
Trillion Gigabytes) of data
That’s 40x the whole amount of
stars we can currently see in the
visible universe!
10. THEN THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENED…
So what have we learned after a pandemic outbreak, in relation to preparedness?
WE WERE NOT PREPARED!
11. POST PANDEMIC – DATA GROWTH TRENDS CONTINUE
Data is not the new oil, it does not get consumed, used and forgotten about – It continues to grow,
duplicated and repurposed constantly and is much more valuable!
5G - Up to 10Gbps data rate - > 10 to 100x improvement over 4G and 4.5G networks with 1-millisecond latency!
AI - Global Data Analytics Outsourcing Market is accounted for $2,233.12 million in 2017 – estimated to reach $18,681.12 million by 2026
Cybersecurity - Holistic cyber security strategies emerging for your corporate data
Data Governance – Existing and new policies emerge (together with new applications and systems)
Containerisation and Microservices - Will become the new normal (heading that way before 2020)

13. SOME FINAL THOUGHTS….. ON A POSITIVE NOTE
COVID-19 is the pressure that companies needed to start taking advantage of the technology available to make
life less complicated, and there are many benefits of taking advantage of this technology.
Better supply chain for deliveries of all kinds - New software initiatives with associated datasets
Employees to work remotely in industries that prohibited it before – New platforms emerging generating a huge amounts of data
Emissions have decreased in such a significant way – Healthier us!
Investing in methods to centralise analytics and decision making approaches and scale them exponentially, across all connected
channels. CX leaders are investing in customer data platforms (53%) and real-time decision engines (45%) – AI generated datasets
Uptake In Robotic initiatives – Automation and industrial IoT investments, generating large datasets
McDonald's is testing robots as cooks and servers – Robotic automation – creating large datasets
One thing has been made clear; not being agile or ready can and will be a huge risk

Thanks to our sponsor Commvault for working with us on this webinar.
If you’d like to speak to Don Foster and his team please let us know.
Seismic shifts are happening in IT – and a data tsunami is coming. Hybrid and multi-cloud adoption are increasing, cloud-native and containerised applications have become the new delivery model, and the adoption of software-defined storage is accelerating.
Adding to the complexity is the Covid-19 pandemic, which has further accelerated digital transformation. Tamount of data and the number of applications continues to grow with no end in sight.
Existing storage methods are inhibiting organisations’ ability to deliver and there is an opportunity for new technologies to deliver better agility, scalability and while lowering costs.
In this webinar, our expert speakers Don Foster (VP Storage Solutions at Commvault) and Neil Cattermull (Director at The Future as a Service) will reveal how IT leaders are ensuring they have the right infrastructure to support emerging technologies and growing workforce demands. They’ll show you how to enable secure access to the corporate network while avoiding lengthy hardware procurement and implementation schedules.

Don Foster Vice President, Storage Solutions at Commvault
Don Foster has spent his career successfully merging his technical expertise and business acumen to address customer needs with insightful knowledge of products and solutions. As Vice President, Storage Solutions, Don is working to integrate the technology of SDS provider Hedvig, which Commvault acquired in September 2019. In this capacity, Don is working to unify the vision, R&D initiatives and go-to-market plans of both Hedvig and Commvault into a single, comprehensive roadmap for the future.
On top of these challenges, new trends are emerging creating new type of challenges.
Multi-cloud adoption is increasing. According to 1RightScale 2019 State of the Cloud Report, 84% of enterprises have a multi cloud strategy1

Software-defined storage deployments are accelerating.
According to Gartner, by 2024 50% of global storage capacity will be deployed as SDS1

Global organizations are quickly moving to containerized applications, According to Gartner
By 2022, more than 75% global enterprises will be running containerized applications in production1

Only SDS platform that can span multiple on premises and multiple disparate cloud environments and seamlessly provide multi site resiliency. Availability is built into the platform and realizable on a per volume granularity basis.
Hedvig is multi-cloud inside. It is architected and built based on experience drawn from inventing systems like Amazon Dynamo and Apache Cassandra, both of which have been deployed in large internet estates.
Typically native storage primitives in the cloud don’t have cross zone/cross region fault tolerance built in. Hedvig can sit between the application and the storage primitives in the cloud (think EBS) and provide such capabilities seamlessly for greater application availability and reliability.
This is an example of a current production cluster set up at one of our customers. The hypervisor in their case is ESX, but we are hypervisor agnostic so it is the same template for any other hypervisor. It is a 3-site cluster, two DCs being close by (sub ms ping latency), with the 3rd DC, about 170 miles away, with a 5ms ping latency. We have an active-active stretch cluster across all 3 DCs with Hedvig being the underlying storage platform.
All virtual disks are created with the DC aware policy, ensuring replication across the 3 DCs. Due to our quorum semantics, the applications do not suffer the long latency to the 3rd DC. Any writes that might have failed, are tracked and fixed by a background task that we call rereplication.
At any point, even if a complete site fails, the applications seamlessly migrate to the one of the remaining sites, and all I/O operations continue without any interruption. Since all previous writes have been committed to at least one of the remaining two DCs, RPO is basically zero so this is truly HA. There is no downtime, at least from a storage point of view, even on a complete site failure.
Several Hedvig deployments are similar to this, i.e. single cluster spanning multiple sites and users can tune the resiliency at a vDisk granularity. There is a webinar scheduled next week to go deeper into this particular customer case so I would encourage people to check it out.
