They treat all created-data as equally important, and critical to retain, whether or not this is true. Since the rate of growth of data-stored is higher than the areal-density growth rate of spinning disks, organizations are purchasing more disk and spending more IT budget on managing data. While cost for computation is decreasing, cost to store, move, and manage the resultant information is ever-expanding.=0A=0AIBM Research and Development are working on new technologies to shift data cost-curves fundamentally lower, use automation to manage data expansion, and leverage diverse storage technologies to manage efficiencies - all "behind the scenes", nearly invisible to end-users. This presentation will describe new Data Technologies being developed and perfected, and how these changes may fundamentally reset data costs lower.
