As enterprises work towards digital transformation and operational efficiency, they need technology that can adapt to dramatic shifts across the organization and keep up with the ever-increasing demands of modern workloads and applications. Today's businesses are inundated by large volumes of data – data that remains relatively untapped. This data can help uncover critical insights that can drive new and improved customer experiences and create innovative new business opportunities. As these critical insights are needed in real-time, there is a need to ingest, collect, store and process data much more quickly and efficiently than ever before. As a result, IT organizations need a platform capable of supporting modern workloads like Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML), and Deep Learning (DL) as well as next generation databases and enterprise applications.
