2024 Trends And Predictions For Data Storage
The Futurum Group, Monday, January 8th, 2024
2024 has arrived and as the new year begins, it provides an opportune time to pause, examine the data storage market, and contemplate what it has in store for the year ahead. Although it is impossible to perfectly predict the future, I believe 2023 laid the groundwork for several trends that are likely to be seen within the data storage market in 2024.
The following represents key data storage trends that I predict to see in 2024.
- AI
- ESG and Sustainability
- Device Trends: QLC SSDs and the Death of Disk?
- Block Storage
- Unstructured Storage
Final Thoughts
The beginning of the year presents a great opportunity to list the trends that I expect to see in 2024, but only time can tell how the data storage market will actually unfold in the new year. The trends witnessed in 2023 help provide insight into what is likely to be in store, but as is often the case with technology, new developments can quickly cause trends to shift.
