Seagate, a storage solutions vendor has outlined a renewed vision for its enterprise storage business in the Middle East focusing on how to help partners access and interpret information more quickly, accurately and securely.
The vendor revealed the new strategy at the annual Seagate Partner Conference hosted in Dubai recently.
“We are entering a world where everything is connecting to everything else and the resulting big data is anticipated to solve virtually all our problems. Data has evolved from static information stored and forgotten to a living entity that drives every day interactions. Storage innovation must therefore focus on new systems and solutions which are faster, more reliable and expansive,” said Christian Assaf, senior sales manager MEA, Seagate.
Assaf said industry experts have largely recognised that data centres today are not equipped to handle the anticipated influx of data generated by the Internet of Things (IoT) nor are they geared towards feeding data smoothly to analytics platforms where it can prove added value.
“The partner conference included a series of technical workshops, solution demos and topical roundtables looking at how organisations in the region can better create, share and preserve their most critical business assets,” he said.
