Do these scenarios sound familiar?
- Is rapid data growth stressing your internal resources?
- Is data storage one of the biggest expenses in your IT budget?
- Are you able to easily access critical data?
Data storage has quickly become one of the biggest expenses within the IT budget, responsible for up to
30 percent of capital expenditures. Some companies endure the problem by accepting longer backup windows;
others keep increasing the number of fast, high capacity drives to manage the growth. Data management
solutions allow companies to identify where critical data resides, classify and tier data according to
importance and accessibility, and implement a cost-efficient storage infrastructure to enable and ensure
backups and protection.
Benefits of Data Management
Data management solutions help enterprises efficiently move data, increase accessibility, ensure protection
and backup and reduce costs. As a component of data management, Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) is a
process that consists of tiering data and moving it to the most cost-efficient storage device and disk type
based on accessibility and availability to best meet technical and business requirements. ILM also helps
simplify or reduce data, effectively manage, backup and replicate critical data, and meet regulatory compliance
requirements. In addition to ILM, data management includes strategies to facilitate increased disk utilization,
identification of unchanged or un-retrieved data as an archival candidate, and prioritization of data for
backups and creating policies for recovery.
