Data access has become more critical for 53% of survey respondents throughout the pandemic as analytics workloads and demands increase significantly, according to a survey conducted by Enterprise Management Associates.

The survey found that half of respondents have data in five or more data storage platforms.

Some of the biggest obstacles they face are combining data in motion with data at rest, the excessive time it takes to address break and fix, data pipeline complexity and the manual coding lift for deploying error-free data pipelines.

This migration is not to one specific cloud provider: the number one criteria respondents looked for in cloud data storage was the flexibility to access data from multiple clouds.

Data analysts are also looking for the most support in analyzing streaming data or real-time events and running a single query across structured and semi-structured data.

"But the challenge we see organizations facing is a veritable tsunami of diverse data in their hybrid cloud environments, with a range of users needing access to it, including application developer and DevOps teams, data science and data engineering teams, and cloud infrastructure teams. The imperative is to create a consistent foundation for storage that can handle a wider range of workload types, from structured databases and semi-structured data warehouses to unstructured data lakes. With this foundation, organizations can be better positioned to harness insights from their data, no matter where it comes from in their hybrid cloud environment."
