Microsoft Data Platform Vision
A variety of factors are converging to create an information storage
explosion. Enabled by new types of information, such as digitization of
images and video, and sensor information from RFID tags, the amount
of digital information within an organization is mushrooming. Growing
regulatory compliance and globalization require that information be
stored securely and available at all times. At the same time, the cost
of disk storage has dramatically decreased, enabling organizations to
store more data per dollar invested. Users must quickly sift through
mountains of data to find relevant information. Furthermore, they want
to use this information on any device and with the programs that they
use every day, such as Microsoft Office System applications. Managing
this data explosion and the increase in user expectations creates
numerous challenges for the enterprise.
