Machine learning is driving demand for data replication

Data for the enterprise is now a currency of its own, yet many companies and institutions are still trying to navigate the moving of large volumes of data from on-premise to the cloud in an effort to capitalize on the value of data stored in many locations. "I think longer-term the economic advantage of using cloud environments are undeniable. The cost advantages of hosting information in the cloud, the benefits that come from the scalability of those environments is far surpassing capabilities that organizations can invest in themselves or their own data centers," said Paul Scott-Murphy, vice president of product management, big data/cloud, at WANdisco Inc. During the Google Cloud Next event, Scott-Murphy spoke with Stu Miniman (@stu), host of theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media's mobile live streaming studio, at SiliconANGLE's Palo Alto, CA, studio to discuss the trends WANdisco is seeing with its customers, as well as news from Google Cloud Next. WANdisco's enterprise and institutional customers are all facing similar problem: The availability of data and the combination of where it is stored makes it difficult to access and derive any benefits for them.
