Many IT decision-makers report that storage and data management complexity is a significant barrier to digital transformation. As data becomes distributed across various locations, from edge to cloud, the challenges of managing this complexity only increase, particularly at scale.

Cloud-native data infrastructure can enhance agility for organizations. While the cloud offers flexibility, it is not a one-size-fits-all solution. A considerable percentage of IT decision-makers are looking to bring cloud-native applications on-premises to better meet their specific needs.

AI-driven intelligence is integral to modern data management solutions. It helps predict and prevent issues, provides advanced recommendations, and enables more autonomous operations, all of which contribute to a more streamlined support experience and reduced complexity.
