A new concept from NetApp seeks to encapsulate the myriad ways in which the near-future of data will evolve into new business models and the massive advantages enterprises can gain; if they play their cards right. NetApp calls it the Dawn of Datanomics —“the emerging way to extract, evolve and apply the value of data with ultimate liberation from traditional barriers and limitations.”
Consider, for instance, these four near-future scenarios: occupying Mars, massive adoption of the metaverse, using genome sequencing to cure cancer and the next generation of Formula 1 racing. What do these seemingly disparate pursuits have in common? Data. Specifically, each will require massive amounts of data to be collected, transferred, stored, and processed securely and at high speed. Businesses at the vanguard of this data revolution may become some of the world’s most influential organizations. Those who sleep through the Dawn of Datanomics will have to sit on the sidelines and watch.
To NetApp’s way of thinking, the Dawn of Datanomics can be broken down into three primary components:
Resilience of data - the ability of data to not just survive attacks, but to operate with liberation, free from the necessity to eschew specific usages due to the escalating dangers of cybercrime.
Intelligence from data - an evolution of AI and machine learning NetApp describes as “ultimate intelligence” that enables infrastructure to manage itself, optimize itself and identify and remediate issues automatically. This new form of artificial intelligence will also lead to deeper insights into how, when and where we use data.
Sustainability for data - fostering good global stewardship by helping organizations transcend the limitations of power grids, increase the energy efficiency of data centers and reinvent storage as a sustainable resource.
It’s clear that NetApp sees a rapidly evolving future in which data plays a key role. The concept of Datanomics portends a powerful new horizon of advances, innovations and discoveries that could alter the course of humanity.
