Storage Predictions for 2025: Larry O’Connor Explores the Future of Data Management
In this article by Larry O’Connor for LarryJordan.com, the founder and CEO of OWC shares his insightful predictions for the future of data storage in 2025. Highlighting the return to on-premises solutions, the democratization of AI through local implementation, and the growing performance gap between local and cloud-based systems, O’Connor provides a roadmap for businesses to optimize their storage strategies. These predictions focus on enhancing security, improving performance, and reducing costs—key considerations for data management in the digital era.
The Return of On-Premises Data Storage and Computing
O’Connor predicts a major resurgence in on-premises data storage and computing as organizations prioritize security, performance, and cost control. With cloud storage costs on the rise and vulnerabilities becoming more apparent, many businesses are turning to local solutions for critical data management. On-prem data storage offers faster access speeds, greater reliability, and enhanced protection against cyberattacks.
Smaller businesses, in particular, benefit from local storage since it is less attractive to cybercriminals compared to public cloud platforms. O’Connor emphasizes that the cloud should play a supporting role—serving as a tertiary backup or for external data sharing—while local solutions remain the primary strategy for data security. By reducing reliance on cloud storage, businesses can avoid bandwidth costs, accelerate data recovery, and maintain control over sensitive information.
On-Premises AI: Democratizing Technology and Protecting Intellectual Property
One of the most exciting predictions from O’Connor is the rise of on-premises AI.

Running AI systems locally not only democratizes advanced technology but also protects proprietary data, algorithms, and customer insights from being exposed in the cloud.
O’Connor warns of the risks of “data bleed,” where proprietary information inadvertently enhances third-party systems or becomes accessible to competitors. On-prem AI ensures full control over sensitive data while eliminating recurring costs associated with cloud AI services. This makes on-premises AI a cost-effective and secure option for businesses looking to leverage AI capabilities.
The Expanding Performance Gap Between Local and Cloud-Based Systems
O’Connor’s third prediction underscores the growing performance gap between locally operated systems and cloud-dependent solutions. With advancements like Thunderbolt 5 technology, local systems now achieve data transfer speeds of up to 7000MB/s, far surpassing the 100MB/s typical of cloud-based systems.
This dramatic performance boost is essential for tasks such as video editing, high-resolution imagery processing, and managing complex data sets. By leveraging local systems, businesses can streamline workflows and significantly reduce the time and cost associated with cloud dependency. O’Connor suggests that cloud storage is best reserved for distribution and collaboration, while local solutions should handle performance-intensive tasks.
Conclusion: Embracing a Hybrid Storage Strategy
Larry O’Connor’s predictions for 2025 highlight a pivotal shift in data management strategies. Businesses are advised to embrace on-premises solutions for their speed, security, and cost advantages while using cloud services selectively for supplementary needs. Whether it’s safeguarding intellectual property, optimizing performance, or reducing expenses, on-premises storage and computing are poised to take center stage in the future of data management.
For organizations looking to stay ahead of the curve, O’Connor’s insights provide a clear path to success. By adopting a hybrid approach to data storage, businesses can harness the best of both local and cloud technologies, ensuring they remain competitive in an evolving digital landscape.
