Forrester finds companies confounded by data deluge

▤ Summary

A Forrester study commissioned by Dell Technologies has revealed that businesses are struggling with big data overload. At a press briefing connected with the research, Dayne Turbitt, general manager for Dell in the UK and Ireland, said: “People have more data than they know what to do with. Some 57% of respondents [to the Forrester study] regard themselves as data-driven businesses, but 83% are not treating data as capital. So, put your data in a central location with direct connect capability to all of the public clouds. We’ve seen the era of cloud – the emergence of AWS, Google and [Microsoft] Azure – and now we will see, over the next 10 years, a battle for the edge.
