The cloud of the future is just around the corner. As we enter a new epoch of data science— what NetApp calls The Dawn of Datanomics—the storage and data services landscape will evolve in ways we could scarcely imagine just 10 years ago. This evolved cloud will be underpinned by AIOps that enable infrastructure to manage itself, continually optimizing as it automatically identifies and remediates issues. The cloud of the future will be able to store, analyze and transfer data faster and more efficiently than ever before while using less power and creating a smaller carbon footprint. 

NetApp’s vision of the Dawn of Datanomics gives us a glimpse of a near future underpinned by three primary focus areas. “Resilience of Data” will protect against the kind of ransomware attacks that cost US enterprises an average of $9.4 million in 2022. “Intelligence from Data” will leverage AI to produce self-managed infrastructure that can provide limitless insights from all data no matter where it resides. And “Sustainability of Data” will eventually enable cloud service providers to offer large-scale cloud storage operating on a zero-energy consumption model.

The cloud of the future will impact an overwhelming percentage of the world’s businesses. Today, 97% of enterprises use public cloud services like Azure, AWS and Google Cloud. And 89% already have a multi-cloud strategy in place. NetApp estimates that by 2025, 68% of enterprises will be in three or more clouds. 

However, strategic enterprise cloud adoption has too often been short on actual strategy. Too many companies ended up in a hybrid multi-cloud environment without a plan to battle cloud sprawl. As a result, enterprises are now forced to deal with costly and time-consuming issues, including too many disparate tools and processes, cloud-sized silos and lock-ins, security risks and cost overruns.

NetApp and its partners are ready to help enterprises leverage the cloud of the future by building a simplified hybrid multi-cloud state in which benefits aren’t held back by complexity and where operations are unified and automated across all on-prem and public clouds.
