Data explosion, “data awakening” is imminent
Traditional storage has endured for a long time, and distributed storage has suddenly emerged. Storage management, intelligent storage, storage and computing integration, data lake, disaster recovery and backup, data center, NVRAM and other technologies are becoming more and more popular, and the application of storage technology is becoming more and more widespread. , The value of the massive data contained is becoming more and more immeasurable.
According to IDC’s forecast, corporate data will grow at a rate of 42.2% per year in the next two years. This survey of 1,500 companies around the world shows that 68% of corporate data have not been used. Since the ability of data analysis and processing cannot keep up with the growth rate of data, more and more data are collected, generated, and stored by enterprises, and the data falling into the “sleeping” is also rapidly expanding, which directly leads to the fact that the large amount of investment of enterprises cannot reach the expected return.
The arrival of the intelligent age has awakened the sleeping data and stimulated the value of data.
Chairman of the Information Storage and Security Committee of China Computer Industry Association, Professor Xie Changsheng, Wuhan Optoelectronics National Research Center, Huazhong University of Science and Technology
Professor Xie Changsheng, Chairman of the Information Storage and Security Committee of the China Computer Industry Association, and Professor Xie Changsheng from the Wuhan Optoelectronics National Research Center of Huazhong University of Science and Technology, said, “With the development of computing storage and transmission technology, data is organized and refined in an orderly manner. Thinking can be independent In the human brain, it exists in parallel in the data space, from which laws are discovered, wisdom is condensed, and decision-making is supported. All data will become alive. This marks the arrival of the era of data awakening.”
Data awakening is not only the demand of the times, but also the ultimate goal of digital transformation; storage technology will continue to innovate in the process of data awakening and create higher data value.
Shu Jiwu, Chairman of the Information Storage Committee of the Chinese Computer Society, Professor of the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University, and Dean of the School of Information, Xiamen University
Shu Jiwu, chairman of the Information Storage Committee of the Chinese Computer Society, professor of the Department of Computer Science and Technology of Tsinghua University, and dean of the School of Information of Xiamen University, pointed out that “data awakening” also means that the storage system meets the needs of data centers, intelligent lake warehouses and The development of big data requires that the future data storage world is full of unpredictable changes.
While letting all walks of life pay attention to storage technology, it is the original intention of the “2021 China Data and Storage Summit” to find a feasible technical route for data awakening.
The emergence of the meta-universe: computing power and data are the foundation
This year, the concept of Metaverse suddenly emerged, attracting attention from all walks of life.
“Meta universe not only includes 5G, artificial intelligence, blockchain, cloud computing, and big data in the digital economy, but also integrates the forward-looking layout of technologies such as VR, AR, brain-computer interfaces, and the Internet of Things.” Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Tsinghua University Zheng Weimin, a professor in the University’s Department of Computer Science and Technology, pointed out that the meta universe is a world composed of data, and distributed data storage has become the basic way to maintain the enduring operation of the meta universe. At the same time, in the process of using data, there is a certain vague intersection of rights between data producers, managers, integrators, users and other roles, which makes it difficult to confirm the property rights of data elements, which will lead to a large amount of data abuse. , Blockchain is the key technology and infrastructure to solve this series of problems.
Zheng Weimin, Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, Professor of the Department of Computer Science and Technology, Tsinghua University
In the view of Academician Zheng Weimin, computing power and data are the foundation for the development of Metaverse and the digital economy. Internet innovation fields such as digital government, financial technology, smart medical care, and smart manufacturing all require computing power. With the acceleration of my country’s digital economy, various industries have accumulated a large amount of data, laying a solid foundation for data elementization and marketization.
Professor Shu Jiwu said that the “digitalization of the physical world” and the “digital world feeding back and affecting the physical world” represented by Metaverse are essentially the Internet of Things, big data, AI, VR/AR and other technologies and data centers, The result of mutual interaction and mutual promotion of intelligent lake warehouses.
“Data Awakening” to accelerate the development of the storage industry
“Data awakening covers different levels of data calculation, integration, circulation, processing, and preservation. Each link has numerous technological innovations and solutions. Data lifecycle management in the storage field is a set of strategy-based solutions, and so is flash memory. Accelerate the release of data value from the perspective of storage performance. It can be said that based on the changes in storage technology, the development and utilization of data has been accelerated in an all-round way, and the general trend of data awakening has become more unstoppable.” Said Xu Runan, general manager and chief product manager of the product line.
