@Mthiele10 is so correct - historically it's way easier to buy more storage than it is to manage data - hence the horrible storage inefficiency situation we're in today
Great point about "ownership of data" - is this an opportunity or will it slow down adoption for enterprises? Or will the game change to make adoption go faster
Agreed - best users are figuring out how to combine own data with industry and other sources. Unlocking value of information rather than just storing it.
Even in hype-filled Silicon Valley, few buzz phrases are freighted with higher expectations than big data. Salespeople are knocking on the doors of Fortune 500 companies, promising to help them analyze a mounting flood of information from everywhere
