Condusiv: Poor System Performance Could Swamp Potential of $371B Data Monetization Growth
GLENDALE, Calif. (PRWEB) June 27, 2018 -- According to a recent study by Allied Market Research, the global data monetization market, valued at $44.9 billion in 2016, will reach almost $371 billion by 2023, growing at a CAGR of 35.4%.1 “Based on straight-line sales projections,” says James D’Arezzo, CEO of Condusiv Technologies, “those numbers are possible. But they paint a very incomplete picture.” D’Arezzo, whose company is a world leader in I/O reduction and SQL database performance, adds that unless serious attention is focused on the IT infrastructure supporting these activities, time and productivity losses could drown the entire market in a sea of red ink.
The model for the expected boom was set by the leading business-to-consumer social media companies, who have transformed data provided by their users into an asset whose ownership has enabled them to acquire a majority share of global advertising revenue.2 The expected major players in the next wave of data monetization—banking and financial services, ecommerce/retail, telco and IT, and real estate—will offer tailored business-to-business versions of their own extensive holdings of customer data.3
Unfortunately, the push for widespread B2B data monetization may arrive just as the entire field of big-data analytics is confronting—and being hampered by—the limits of current computer hardware. Put simply, notes D’Arezzo, the problems abound:
• Big data requires so much storage space that it is pushing the limits of storage scalability.
• As the amount of data being handled increases, input/output failures—the system’s inability to retrieve a given piece of information at a given moment—become more frequent.
• Each failure negatively impacts not only that particular request, but the overall calculation work of the entire system.4
One symptom of this problem is a severe and rapidly growing increase in hardware investment as companies attempt to overcome system limitations by, essentially, throwing money at them. By 2020, hardware spending in the enterprise segment, i.e., business, will reach almost $1.5 trillion.5
A related issue is that the combination of storage congestion issues and increased failure rate take a significant toll in productivity. D’Arezzo notes that users of inefficient systems spend an estimated total of 15 minutes out of every day sitting and waiting for a computer system to respond. The resulting economic burden is significant: the U.S. retail, business services, and financial industries together carry a total annual payroll of around $2.1 trillion.6,7 If a quarter hour of these employees’ productive time vanishes due to computer delays, it represents a nearly $66 billion annual loss.
“That’s the story about these data markets nobody is telling,” says D’Arezzo. He adds, though, that there are software solutions that can help companies avoid both insupportable capital investment levels and crippling productivity losses. These products can improve a storage and server system’s I/O efficiency—the basic determinant of data processing speed—30% to 50% or more, with no additional hardware cost.
D’Arezzo says, “Anyone interested in data monetization that fails to incorporate this kind of software into their system planning is throwing 30% or more of their hardware budget away, not to mention taking a huge loss in employee productivity.”
