2020 February 17, the news from the point of view of the parties, technology companies resumed cause for optimism.
In 2020, under the impact of the new coronavirus that time, China's science and technology Contagion in an orderly manner, the amount of donations from the point of view, sufficient to demonstrate technology companies rush to the rescue Wuhan, Hubei rush to the rescue effort made. At the same time, science and technology Contagion, a number of technology companies in Wuhan resident engineer to rush to the rescue.
In this concern the global data storage industry, there are still many other trends worth a visit, here to observe global storage and invited the industry to work together on the 2020 data storage trends made some prescient analysis, summarized here in particular, it is worth one look.
• • • Innovation Inspired foreseeable development
Everyone loves dedicated to the development of the data storage industry
Everyone loves dedicated to the development of the data storage industry
◤ trend: all-flash array of enterprise-class data storage standard.
In the all-flash arrays hundred lines industry has gone through more than one hundred years, with the expansion of the global data storage industry scale, all-flash application also entered the business-critical core areas of business users. For example, in banking, securities, energy and other industrial applications, enterprise-class features all-flash array significantly increased performance coupled with outstanding performance, which bring these key areas of industry application landing successfully.
So far, all the world-class enterprise data storage vendors have launched their own all-flash array and access to the industry successfully applied landing. And all-flash array for data storage vendor is not a small contribution on 2019 sales, all-flash market growth also led to the development of the entire enterprise data storage industry. In the global enterprise to accelerate the digital transformation forward, 2020 all-flash array is playing an unprecedented role, and enterprise-class data storage standard.
◤ Trends: 3D NAND memory chip makers continue to stimulate the innovation arms race.
Progress 3D NAND flash technology, so Samsung Samsung, Hynix SK Hynx, Western Digital WD, Micron Micron, armor Xia Kioxia, Intel Intel , etc. attention to the memory chip semiconductor manufacturers benefited in the development of the global semiconductor manufacturers trends the semiconductor memory chip manufacturers in the field of access to innovative force with a strong production capacity, but also have access to a better revenue growth. This also brings an arms race in the field of manufacturing memory chips, commonly known as the industry levy contest .
SK Hynx Hynix by the end of 2018 the company announced a 96 layer 4D NAND introduction of 512G bit, its performance and capacity than 72 layer 3D NAND Flash. 2019, Western Digital and armor Xia teamed up to launch a 112 layer stack 3D NAND, Samsung announced in August 2019 100+ layers sixth-generation V-NAND single stack. Of course, China's memory chip manufacturers are also involved. Yangtze store rise, but also to learn a lot of purple, which later began to build violet memory manufacturing base in Chengdu , with a total investment of $ 24 billion, will build a new 3D NAND memory wafer production line.
Of course, such a levy starting a contest, in memory chips will continue in 2020 3D NAND innovation demand will thus rise, while the mainstream 64-layer stack 3D NAND will gradually accompanied by 96 layer process technology maturity, been replaced by layers 96 stacked 3D NAND.
◤ three trends: SDS continues to be high growth markets play storage vendors.
Software-defined storage SDS has developed a number of years, whether domestic or foreign analysts of software-defined storage are very good, is because the storage architecture for enterprise users to select the data center or distributed cloud data center has become an important direction . China 5G commercial in 2019, an unprecedented acceleration, 5G city distribution gradually perfected, which makes software-defined storage have more space to play in a large sense. So far, domestic and foreign data storage vendors have launched or improved their software-defined storage products and solutions.
In 2019, the global software-defined storage size of the market has almost exceeded $ 10 billion, by the year 2020 will be the inevitable development of software-defined storage Petani, breaking $ 10 billion should not be a problem. China's software-defined storage market in 2019 has also been a nurturing and development, market size in 2020 is expected to break through 10 billion yuan . At the current pace of development, in 2020 the software-defined storage SDS will continue to maintain high growth, and soon became the most important market for data storage vendors to play.
◤ Trend: Object storage is becoming an important pillar of the new data storage industry.
Object Storage objects are stored in the data storage industry, it is a long-term presence. Why in 2019, much industry attention to also become a hot industry, the most important reason must come from big data, artificial intelligence, networking and growth of new technologies such as landing brought unstructured data storage needs. After all, from the pictures, video, audio, and other unstructured data mass scale placed in front of everyone, in 2020 the world will have unstructured enterprise data 32ZB of how to better store, manage, use of these data is that each data storage vendors an opportunity to give full play to the value of the object store.
Only traditional database necessarily need a traditional store, but relative to the unstructured data storage, traditional data storage capacity is not big, for business users, a nearly all-flash array can handle. And, as more and more companies started to accept user mode structured data and unstructured data are stored separately, most of all unstructured data types, object-oriented mass data storage will become more apparent. Further analysis point of view, this will inevitably lead to "target" of the data storage process to become a global trend.
Whether it is based on open source platform developed object storage, or storage platform developed based on the traditional object storage, or is it based on public cloud storage service developed object storage, everyone in the object storage performance and scalability have made great progress on , massive, secure, low cost, high reliability has become a key term in the field of object storage required, any object storage provider must meet the user in the public cloud, private cloud, hybrid cloud delivery on diversification. By 2020, the global object store is expected to develop into a $ 20 billion market size, and has become an important pillar of the new data storage industry.
◤ Trend five: start streaming store from the laboratory to application scenarios.
Streaming store began to emerge in an object store on the basis of an innovative packaging made to adapt better storage data stream, including video continuous data stream, the data stream things brought mass. In network monitoring, sensor networks, aerospace, meteorological monitoring and control, and financial services fields, etc., although Storm, Spark and Flink processing stream data processing framework brings to contribute, but for the stream data processing storage management, but also need more products and integration of the package.
Thus for AR / VR, autopilot, networking and other technologies to bring data processing and storage challenges, access and processing requirements of large file-based data flow model developed HDFS (Hadoop Distributed File System) Although you can play some help, but just far enough HDFS. Streaming store from the lab to the scene, in the inevitable integration of object storage, file system, open source framework for data processing, realize the timing database more direct effect , must meet low-latency, high-throughput, real-time processing features.
◤ Trend six: the traditional data storage will be applied against the depth of the container.
With further enrich container technology, container enterprise applications, Internet technology will be a further blow to traditional storage space. Imagine, enterprise applications are loaded to a local disk or flash memory, data is stored in the object store. Once you have a better packaging container, to bring business users more convenient and efficient, will definitely lead to more business users to adopt such a container application mode. Thus, in practical applications, we will continue to undermine the value of traditional enterprise storage exist.
2019 to ZooKeeper, Redis, Kafka, MongoDB applications such as containers of practice on Kubernetes platform, more and more, Kubernetes almost become synonymous with container platforms. In 2020, as many data storage vendors support Kubernetes will further deepen strengthen, then the enterprise application deployment vessel will usher in a broader development opportunities. This is bound to a certain extent, so that affected more traditional data storage container of enterprise applications.
◤ Trend Seven: application-defined storage become a catalyst for innovation to accelerate the storage industry.
Take customized scenarios for data storage will become a new trend, as the same hardware to software as a service. Prior to this, the industry has proposed application definitions are stored, but it was only for the definition of the integration of traditional enterprise storage with traditional enterprise applications, and now advocated application definitions are stored more than one meaning, it is to make application to the enterprise data storage scenario customization, as hardware as software as a service.
There are two areas of concern need, one aspect in the field of things, to customize data flow stream storage; on the other hand, for emerging applications software, custom more efficient storage systems, including for Kubernetes, TensorFlow, Flink, ElasticSearch etc. large and wide application. These emerging applications have a unique quality indicators, such as the special requirements of jitter performance, and there are different requirements for the storage capabilities of emerging applications, the application needs to play a greater value on the need for customized storage systems. 2019 data storage vendors have been explored in these fields, in their efforts, in 2020, application definitions are stored accelerate global data storage industry has become a catalyst for innovation.
◤ trend Eight: Super Fusion is expected to become synonymous with corporate users Xiaoyun 2020
Super Fusion system has also been developed over the years, in accordance with the 2019 overall contribution to global super-fusion system vendors, global HCI overall size of the market should be close to $ 8 billion. At the same time, covering industries from the point of view, ultra-integration has evolved from a small-scale users to users in the fields of industry vertical, the scope of application has gradually shifted from the aspects of integration will exceed the previous VDI, server virtualization, databases, etc. as a business IT infrastructure. Many ultra-fusion system vendors and it has launched a private cloud based solutions over converged infrastructure constructed.
Dell EMC, Nutanix, Cisco, VMware, HPE, Microsoft, Pivot3, Huawei, deeply convinced, Red Hat, Huayun data, Lenovo and other leading global manufacturer of ultra-integration, gradually more rich application scenarios ultra-fusion system at the same time, let ultra become the cornerstone of integration of the development of enterprises quickly build a private cloud infrastructure. According to the current ultra-integration of inertial overall size of the global market development point of view 2019, 2020, ultra-fusion system will bring greater room for growth, mainly from business users facilitation rigid demand for private cloud. That Xiaoyun private cloud, public cloud large cloud that is, everyone has become a habit to call. Thus, the fusion system is expected to be in 2020 corporate users "Xiaoyun," a synonym,
◤ Trend Nine: disaster recovery data once again become a key business figures can not be ignored.
With big data, cloud computing, networking, artificial intelligence and other emerging applications give businesses more dynamic development, science and technology help business innovation, but also so that we see a indisputable fact, that is: data management and data protection become one of the digital acceleration process, must pay attention on the most important thing. Data has become a corporate asset is set, reflect the value of the data in the data security inspire enterprises attention again. Traditional data backup technology continues to upgrade optimization, cloud service docking process, but also to traditional data backup vendors to find opportunities to cooperate with public cloud vendors on hybrid cloud storage strategy, which is to bring a large number of traditional business users to digital upgrade, innovation enterprise-place comprehensive digital indispensable choice. Because for any business, lost data means lost their jobs.
According to different industries, different business needs, there will be a big difference on data management and data protection policies, but whether it is a simple data backup, disaster recovery or targeted data, 2020 will become all the enterprise development process hot topic, so the data disaster recovery once again become a key business figures can not be ignored, it must bring data management vendors can more market opportunities.
◤ trend ten: intelligent presents a wider range of applications and practice in the field of data storage.
Intelligently store data, data management, ensure reliability, flexibility and business continuity, which is stored in the data began many years ago. As competition intensifies between data storage vendors, corporate users for intelligent data storage requirements are also gradually increasing. For within the data storage array system hard drive failure, bad sectors, automate the diagnosis of early warning; efficient storage of different data storage media for hot and cold;; for the storage management system to automate remote management and operation and maintenance for the realization of the storage system software features related to more flexible agile software development tools. From the data storage drives to the array to the data center, intelligent acceleration data storage gives business users more value. Including increased storage utilization, reduce the failure may bring loss of data, more quickly achieve docking between the data storage and analysis system, and ultimately the real value of data.
By 2020, data storage vendors will build on what intelligence tools and means to further enhance the data stored in the performance optimization, innovative value on capacity allocation, load application and data security, and effectively help enterprise customers realize more value data storage experience , promote the wider application of intelligent presentation and practice in the field of data storage.
◤ trend XI: Public Cloud Hybrid cloud storage vendor to become a new force field B.
With the global development of public cloud vendors to enter the field to B after, hybrid cloud storage solutions and services to be cut into the public cloud vendors enterprise-class industries weapon. 2019, we can see from AWS, Microsoft's cloud have to break in to enlarge land area of B. As first proposed hybrid cloud solutions for public cloud vendors, Microsoft's cloud very early on the launch of Azure Stack, while enterprise storage vendors have also introduced a lot of cooperation with Azure Stack joint integrated solutions, its ability to store and obtain performance a certain amount of optimization and improvement. In 2018, AWS will announce the launch hybrid cloud masterpiece Outposts, in 2019 Outposts machine officially debut, data storage capability which is also integrated in the inside. Can even see Ali cloud, cloud, etc. Tencent, data management software vendors with multiple enterprise-class storage, the introduction of offline and online data storage solutions for hybrid cloud-scale users of different applications.
The result of the fact that development has brought more public cloud vendors in the area to B the right to speak. Plus the capacity of public cloud cloud storage in the enterprise characteristics of the growing public cloud vendor's storage business expansion will bring new change in the situation. Among them, in 2020 public cloud vendors hybrid cloud storage will become a new force to an area of B turbulent.
