The amount of data created every year continues to grow, and it is estimated that 175 zettabytes of data will be generated in 2025. The majority of the data generated will need to be stored for future use in AI, Analytics, and Business Intelligence. While there is a choice of storage technologies today, the most cost effective devices for storing massive amounts of data are hard disk drives (HDD). Innovative servers from Supermicro allow up to 90 drives to be housed in a 4U chassis. When using the latest (early 2022) high capacity drives at 20 TB each, a single server can contain 1,800 TB (or 1.8 PB) of raw capacity, providing an easy way to meet massive storage requirements.
