I'm repping a vendor, but I can say from our perspective hearing from clients, it's dramatically - esp. in retail, distribution, telco and managed services sectors.
@dorkninja The industries that are doing big data most avidly tend to show greatest growth. Especially those, such as retail and media, that are making huge investments in machine learning and AI and need huge training data sets.
one way to think about growth: number of entities in the application and infrastructure landscape (ever more fine-grained) emitting ever more telemetry per entity
@mcauth Is the volume of infrastructure data growing in direct proportion to the size and complexity of the IT infrastructure itself? Or is the amount of infrastructure data growing faster (or slower) than the infrastructure?
@colin_walker I'm curious why management data is growing more slowly (albeit slightly) than application data. Are IT management tools growing more sophisticated in deriving analytic insights for the tasks they perform?
I just think there's a naturally offset correlation. You deal with more bytes in/out as things like HD vid, audio streams, higher graphic content etc. become the norm. But those things don't automatically drive more mgmt data.
@mcauth IT ops is also becoming an ML/AI driven process. Anomaly detection amid petabytes+ absolutely demands precision "pattern-sniffing" in real-time.
