Unstructured data is a treasure trove. Make it part of your data strategy.

Outdated IT systems prevent businesses from accessing and extracting value from fast-accumulating stores of unstructured data. A new ESG report underscores the ways HPE Apollo 4000 Systems can change all that.

The ancient theatre and Temple of Apollo at DelphiEverywhere you look, digital demand is up, up, up. That’s because data is more critical to business than ever before, and data stores are growing. According to ESG[1], in 2017 only 9% of businesses predicted data growth in their data centers at a rate of more than 50% annually. In 2020 the number had nearly tripled, with 25% of businesses predicting that rate. It’s a change that reflects the importance of data, and it amounts to a ginormous quantity of bits and bytes, especially when you consider that many HPE customers are already storing and managing multiple petabytes of unstructured data. That plethora of data should make every IT organization a hub of business information and innovation.

So why is it that only 6% of executives surveyed by ESG say that their IT organization functions as a competitive differentiator for the business? It comes down to data access and analysis. If outdated IT systems are preventing workers from finding and extracting insights from fast-accumulating stores of data, your business will have a tough time realizing value from it.
