How to find a football in the Grand Canyon:
We've finally discovered how to store huge amounts of data in a smaller box. Now we just have to figure out how to find it all.
Easier said than done.
The old way of doing things is to create a hierarchical structure, and hope that your structure makes sense to the other users - and that your organization doesn't reorganize too soon.
Search, indexing, cataloging, etc. could be the most important storage/ Data management category in years. I see products taking the best of storage resource management (figuring out what's out there, but in specific terms: what file, who wrote it, etc.), and combining it with where stuff is and the ability to look inside specific content to create usable menus of everything.
Meta-data will be king. Intelligent searching. Tagging.
