ARMONK, N.Y., April 29, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- IBM (NYSE:
IBM) today announced that any.cloud, which provides cloud hosting
for customers across a wide range of industries, including digital
media, has chosen IBM Cloud Object Storage for archiving services
to help manage the company's massive amounts of unstructured data
and help clients derive new insights and value from the data they
store on any.cloud, giving both any.cloud and its clients
opportunities for new revenue streams. any.cloud also recently
tested IBM Watson Video Analytics, as the company seeks to provide
new value-added services to clients in order to support video and
picture tagging as a service.
The amount of data generated by digital media companies is
growing rapidly. Analyst firm IDC projects the world's data growth
to reach 163 zettabytes by 2025, with 80 percent of that growth
coming from unstructured data created by the digital media
industry.i Managing and storing growing digital media
content can be both complicated and costly, leading some storage
service providers to rethink their strategies in an effort to
redefine the value of digital media content.
"We don't want to just offer storage to our customers. At
any.cloud, our aim is to add value to our clients' businesses by
providing them with safe, reliable and easy-to-use storage on a
very large scale," said Gregor Frimodt-Møller, CEO at any.cloud.
"One example of this is innovating our approach to data archiving
to ensure we can deliver our customers always-on availability in
combination with Watson services
and technology."
