Data activation solution makes fast-growing
IoT datasets usable in any cloud with unmatched speed and
scale
SAN RAMON, Calif., May 5, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- Data from connected
devices is trapped at the edge – severely limiting the value it can
create for enterprises. Today, WANdiscoⓇ Edge to Cloud,
the IoT data activation solution, launches to make it possible for
exabytes of edge data to be efficiently transferred for use in any
cloud environment. The first-of-its-kind solution directly connects
IoT data storage with cloud-based AI, machine learning, and
analytics applications, allowing every sensor-generated data point
to add business value and be monetized.
The volume of connected devices worldwide is projected to reach
24.6 billion by 2025, with each device generating a non-stop flow
of data to its nearest edge data center. Moving this data to the
cloud is the only way for companies with thousands of edge centers
to analyze sensor data collectively—a long and tedious process that
can take multiple years and cost millions of dollars.
"Making sense of all your IoT data is the business opportunity
of a generation. It's what will turn companies in sectors like
manufacturing, telecommunications, energy and utilities, healthcare
and automotive into data companies," said David Richards, co-founder and CEO of WANdisco.
"But with sensors in nearly everything, 78% of data executives
claim that data growth is outpacing analysis. It gets trapped at
the edge, and trapped data means trapped revenue. Edge to Cloud is
fast-tracking that data, at scale, to exactly where it needs to be
to make an impact."
Edge to Cloud scales to handle the largest IoT datasets in the
world. A multinational manufacturing company serving the
transportation industry is using the solution to activate exabytes
of vehicle sensor data. Edge to Cloud moves multiple petabytes of
data per day—over an exabyte of data per year. To put this into
perspective: all the words ever spoken by mankind are estimated to
be equal to five exabytes.
Key differentiators of WANdisco Edge to Cloud include:
- Automation: Automate the movement of IoT and file data
at scale across edge systems, data centers, and public clouds.
- Scalability: Scale horizontally to handle any data size,
and take full advantage of network bandwidth.
- Flexibility: Freedom of choice to move data to any
public cloud, take advantage of multiple clouds, and avoid vendor
lock-in.
Edge to Cloud is built on WANdisco's Data Activation Platform
that enables the continuous migration of data across edge systems,
on-premises data centers, and public cloud environments with
unmatched speed and scale, and with zero business disruption or
risk. To learn more about embedding Edge to Cloud into your IT
