Deploying modern analytics infrastructure: Secrets to success

[StorageExperts]

Data-centric modernization can be a challenge in an ecosystem of siloed data and multi-generational infrastructure. These four considerations can help ensure success.

In recent blogs and articles, I have shared the ways companies must evolve their data strategies to meet businesses’ insatiable demand for data storage. I have also examined trends in enterprise analytics, including cloud strategies and the move to open source analytics solutions. It’s time to dig into the tactics of deployment, looking at key factors that will influence your infrastructure long term and help make it successful.

Your objective is to pull off data-centric modernization in a landscape of siloed data and multi-generational software and hardware. So how do you begin to build out a modern analytics infrastructure? Keep these considerations top of mind:

• Solve for object storage on-prem
  To bring greater agility and flexibility to your entire environment, it makes sense to enable an on-prem object storage solution with the flexibility to deliver seamless on-prem and cloud operations.
• Consider a variety of tools
  Look for data platforms that offer integrations with the leading open source tools alongside a marketplace of partners who can further expand your options.
• Integrate Kubernetes
  Capitalize on the use of containers by leveraging an orchestrated Kubernetes environment that automates the provisioning and management of applications.
• Leverage the flexibility of hybrid cloud
  You’ve probably seen the value of deploying and migrating workloads across on-prem and public cloud. To lock in those advantages, you need to ensure seamless app and data mobility across clouds.
