Optimizing your data storage hardware is essential to getting the most out of your data. Even durable media like tape requires organizations to migrate data over time as new technology emerges with faster performance and higher capacities.
The exponential increase in data generation and storage has been outlined in numerous global studies, with some indicating data growth rates as high as 35% per annum. This proliferation of data has necessitated effective and efficient data management strategies. When it comes to handling growing data, one key aspect of data management has been archiving, which involves preserving data in a long-term storage system for future use. Not surprisingly, a recent report by Solutions North Consulting has stipulated that there will be up to six times more data stored in data archives than in primary storage by 2030.[1] Modern digital archive technology brings about notable advancements in data management.
