Overcome Data Gravity and Get the Most from Your Data in the Cloud
What is data gravity? Data gravity can prevent your organization from being nimble, both in adapting your IT to the changing landscape and from competing in the market. As the amount of data generated by applications continues to grow, it becomes difficult to get the data where it needs to be. Soon the data that you depend on and need to access very fast, becomes impossible to move or migrate, making it harder to extract value from it.
How fast you locate your data and cloud workloads and how you access them matters. The increasing latency of accessing data and running demanding technical workloads on-premises from a cloud-based application is detrimental to performance.
Result? Data gravity can lock you into your datacenter or a single cloud, preventing you from accessing and profiting from other available public clouds and their differentiated native services. As a result, costs generated by egress fees, or data sprawl, can compound the impact on your bottom line.
