WANdisco Edge to Cloud
Launches to Activate IoT Data at Scale
Data activation
solution makes fast-growing IoT datasets usable in any cloud with unmatched
speed and scale
Data from connected
devices is trapped at the edge – severely limiting the value it can create for
enterprises. WANdisco® Edge
to Cloud, the IoT data activation solution, launches to make it possible for
exabytes of edge data to be efficiently transferred for use in any cloud
environment. The first-of-its-kind solution directly connects IoT data storage
with cloud-based AI, machine learning, and analytics applications, allowing
every sensor-generated data point to add business value and be monetized.
The volume of connected devices worldwide is projected to
reach 24.6 billion by 2025, with each device generating a non-stop flow of data
to its nearest edge data center. Moving this data to the cloud is the only way
for companies with thousands of edge centers to analyze sensor data
collectively—a long and tedious process that can take multiple years and cost
millions of dollars.
“Making sense of all your IoT data is the business
opportunity of a generation. It’s what will turn companies in sectors like
manufacturing, telecommunications, energy and utilities, healthcare and
automotive into data companies,” said David Richards, co-founder and CEO of
WANdisco. “But with sensors in nearly everything, 78% of data executives claim
that data growth is outpacing analysis. It gets trapped at the edge, and
trapped data means trapped revenue. Edge to Cloud is fast-tracking that data,
at scale, to exactly where it needs to be to make an impact.”
Edge to Cloud scales to handle the largest IoT
datasets in the world. A multinational manufacturing company serving the
transportation industry is using the solution to activate exabytes of vehicle
sensor data. Edge to Cloud moves multiple petabytes of data per day—over an
exabyte of data per year. To put this into perspective: all the words ever
spoken by mankind are estimated to be equal to five exabytes.
Key differentiators of WANdisco Edge to Cloud include:
- Automation: Automate the movement of IoT and
file data at scale across edge systems, data centers, and public clouds.
- Scalability: Scale horizontally to handle any
data size, and take full advantage of network bandwidth.
- Flexibility: Freedom of choice to move data to
any public cloud, take advantage of multiple clouds, and avoid vendor
lock-in.
Edge to Cloud is built on WANdisco’s Data
Activation Platform that enables the continuous migration of data across edge
systems, on-premises data centers, and public cloud environments with unmatched
speed and scale, and with zero business disruption or risk. To learn more about
