Do these scenarios sound familiar?
- Do you find the challenge of managing your data is growing faster than your ability to keep up?
- Do you wonder where your data actually resides and assume it is safely being backed-up and efficiently stored?
- Are you interested in increasing the efficiency of your storage, while lowering costs and risks?
Data is the lifeblood of a company, but it proliferates fast and its value changes with time. IDC estimates data is growing
in excess of 55% annually. This creates significant challenges for companies to effectively manage data and storage resources.
With storage and its associated costs growing at an exponential rate every year, companies are faced with the need to implement
data containment strategies to increase utilization and operational efficiencies, while reducing costs and risks.
Benefits of a Data Containment Strategy
A data containment strategy enables companies to assess and classify data and implement storage infrastructure solutions to
meet their business requirements including service level agreements (SLAs), risk management, legal discovery, and compliance
with government regulations. Data assessment gives you a detailed understanding of the unstructured data scattered across
your network, while data classification helps categorize your data according to its critical value or how often it needs to
be accessed. Both allow for recommendations to improve storage efficiency, reduce storage cost, and manage risk. The last
phase of data containment consists of building an integrated, storage infrastructure solution with SANs, iSCSI SANs or NAS
technology and utilizing the most effective disk type with FibreChannel, ATA and others. This results in:
- Highly scalable storage capacity and performance
- Improved storage utilization and data availability
- Reduced storage costs
- Reduced management costs
