Because of the constantly explosive data influx, many modern storage technologies work on the petabyte scale, rather than legacy systems which handle only dozens of terabytes and become unsustainable at 1 PB or more.

Data is only going to continue to grow, though, as will costs and the need for more hardware - so if you're unsure how to survive intensifying data growth, it's time to take precautionary steps to prepare for the storm of exponentially increasing volumes of data.

This paper explains why it's time to start re-imagining big data storage. Access it now to explore how to start building a new approach to storage and information dispersal.
