As I look back at 2019 and the changes that shaped the IT landscape this year, we saw more widespread adoption of solutions that both run on and regurgitate datasets in efforts to improve business intelligence. We are increasingly seeing the role of data in enabling futuristic technologies like data analytics, machine learning, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT). With 2020 on the horizon, everything is trending toward how and why companies use their data to serve consumers, make decisions for competitiveness, and iterate operations to improve profitability. For this reason, I think that one of the biggest challenges of 2020 will be how companies can secure a reliable storage, deployment and usage posture for their datasets. Datasets need to move around fast during usage and deployment stages, but also securely.
