Cloud Repatriation: As IT Priorities Change, Organizations Turn to Object Storage for Active Data

New uses for data are driving enterprises to move storage and workloads from the public cloud to on-premises. Watch this Truth in IT session to explore the reasons for cloud repatriation and how companies are getting the most out of their object storage and cloud environments.

Summary:

This video covers public cloud challenges and modern considerations for cloud object storage in the realm of big data and analytics. DCIG and Hitachi Vantara set out to answer urgent questions like “How is data analyzed across private, hybrid, and multicloud environments?”, “Can you set up policies to move data between clouds?” and “What are some of the best practices customers are employing to enrich existing data after analysis?”

• New requirements for object storage. In the past, object storage was synonymous with archive and backup, slow performance, and data you never wanted to see again but had to keep for some reason. Now, with the rise of machine learning and artificial intelligence, the game has changed and data intelligence and high performance are primary considerations for cloud object storage.
• Public cloud challenges are top of mind. The promises of cost efficiency and fast recovery have not panned out for the public cloud. Organizations want to know what data they can combine with other datasets without experiencing the complexities of data silos and multicloud sprawl.
• Best Practices. Metadata analytics are valuable for finding data faster, retrieving timely content, and anonymizing and generalizing highly sensitive information. Different industry examples are given to demonstrate how companies are making use of their metadata-rich environments.

By bringing cloud object storage on-premises, businesses are deriving insights to improve speed to market, develop new products, and accelerate productivity.
