This year, and for most of this decade, data centers will be dealing with the cloud, containers, and copy data. Using the public cloud is top of mind for every organization, but using the cloud intelligently and developing a strategy for cloud use that makes sense is critical. Organizations primarily use containers to speed the application development process. Still, now organizations are looking for ways to feed data into these containers so that they can use them in testing. Eventually, organizations want to use containers in production. Finally, data and management of data remain a big challenge for organizations. Copy data is the most challenging since it is 10X the size of production data.
