For instance, in telecom, how consumers use data on a daily basis is very important. Data can be classified in various categories.

You classify data to be residing on cloud, edge, or personal data. Real-time apps need data to come in as fast as possible. You can make real time decisions. Hard drives can generate higher capacities of storage. They play an important role in the cloud strategy.
