Hedvig Reveals Vision for the Future of Storage: a Universal Data Plane

Marketwired) -- 09/22/16 -- IDC predicts organizations will spend $2.1 trillion in 2019 on digital transformation technologies. As organizations get serious about building digital businesses, flexibility and responsiveness become their most precious capabilities. To help companies realize the potential of their digital business, #Hedvig today unveiled its vision for a Universal Data Plane, a programmable data management platform that overcomes the rigidity of traditional data infrastructure and removes bottlenecks to widespread digital IT transformation. Topping the CIO priority list are investments in new IT architectures to help with the rapid prototyping, deployment and scaling of digital services. Most organizations are turning to new application, container, and cloud technologies to support these efforts. However, data infrastructure simply has not kept pace. "The journey to total digital transformation makes the public cloud attractive and, to some extent, inevitable. I believe on-premise data centers will eventually be eliminated," said Avinash Lakshman, Hedvig founder and CEO. "But today, many organizations still rely on their own data center or onsite IT and there isn't a simple way for them to embrace the public cloud as an extension of their data centers. We believe traditional storage is the impediment."

It's the preferred starting point for many developers. However, once they reach even a modicum of scale, it can be quite costly to have that digital service run in the cloud permanently. Thus, integrating digital services across private and public clouds becomes an imperative. As organizations adopt a hybrid strategy they experience limited success because data portability -- the ability to move data seamlessly among different workloads, clouds and tiers -- remains elusive.
