Agencies today need fast, reliable, secure access to their data, but their data infrastructure often lets them down. It’s too inflexible to handle the explosion of data generated by video surveillance, the Internet of Things, and other sources, and it creates silos that hinder data retrieval and analysis. When time is of the essence — say, when first responders are being deployed during an emergency — agencies cannot wait for their data systems to catch up.
There’s a modern alternative: an enterprise data cloud (EDC). While traditional data storage focuses on infrastructure, EDC offers a more holistic approach that lets state and local agencies unify, automate and intelligently control all their data, whether it’s on-premises, in the cloud, or in a hybrid environment.
“Because technology is going to continue to evolve, resiliency is going to be key, and whether it’s increased cyber threats or budget deficits, you need a solution that’s going to grow and sail the choppy waves, if you will, as they come,” said Jim Weaver, Pure Storage’s National Strategy Advisor for U.S. Public Sector SLED.
In this video interview, Weaver discusses how agencies can maximize their data’s potential with modern, enterprisewide data management. Topics include:
- How agencies can break away from legacy technology
- How an EDC helps agencies deliver outcomes, not just oversee infrastructure
- How AI and cybersecurity influence data modernization
