## You have a data problem

Data growth is outstripping storage capacity and network bandwidth, yet competing in today’s data economy is predicated on storing, mobilizing, and analyzing it at unprecedented volume and speed—all in an increasingly distributed IT ecosystem.

## Out with the Old Way

The old way is limited. Data goes uncaptured and unused. Why?

- The prohibitive cost of enterprise storage and vendor lock-in limits the volume of data you can store and activate.
- Data gravity means centralized IT architecture and data backhaul approaches are inefficient because of slow, expensive network transfer and cloud ingestion.
- Data scattered across multiple clouds and edge locations is siloed, stifling innovation.

Complexity abounds. There’s got to be a better way.

## In with the New Way

Lyve is a new way to data—a storage platform without limits.

- Lyve complements your existing cloud infrastructure, extending it to the edge—closer to the data source—to help you overcome the barriers of data gravity.
- Predictable, simple, as-a-service consumption means no vendor lock-in and no surprises on your monthly bill.
- Built on the hyperscale blueprint for unrivaled data economics at petabyte through exabyte scale.
- Break down multi-cloud, multi-site data silos with automated, policy-driven orchestration for frictionless, rapid movement and ingestion of data from endpoint to edge to cloud.

The new way means data is never static. It’s dynamic and fluid. It’s alive.
