In this week’s episode, we have Brian Pawlowski, the Chief Development Officer at Quantum. Quantum helps organizations in harnessing the potential of their expanding unstructured data, offering an affordable solution for storing data for decades to come. During our conversation, we delved into the shifting data environment, driven by the exponential growth of unstructured data and the transformative capabilities of AI, empowering organizations to derive meaningful insights from this data abundance. Furthermore, we investigated the optimal combination of cloud and on-premises storage solutions, taking into account specific use case needs, budget constraints, and security considerations. Key Discussion Points: What fundamental changes in data usage and characteristics distinguish unstructured data from the past? Are the use cases of long-term data archiving, enterprise backup, surveillance and security all served by the same architecture? How do government regulations on data storage and handling of PII impact Quantum in countries like China, and India?
