We sell houses and as such we are armimg Realtors and mortgage professionals with the most accurate up to the second data when you are sitting across the table wondering about interest rates or out in a neighborhood looking at a home. Consumers are coming to expect that their sales folks are keyed in up to the second, which means more data on edge devices.

The other area I’ve been keeping an eye on is the automotive space. They have solid state drives, drives capable of withstanding severe vibration and high heat. There are more cars coming with in-dash hard drives for GPS data and for multimedia storage. Not sure how enterprise data will make its way onto these things but I say give it 6 months and someone will come up w/ a way to use them for something work related!!
