Since it is impossible to know what data is needed in the future, many companies retain all files indefinitely on disk. As a consequence storage management has become an ever-increasing challenge. Server performance and data access is diminishing while user demands require increased disk space. In addition, data management puts high overheads on network and backup windows, ultimately putting stress on daily management routines and workloads.
Learn about new software that repositions unaccessed data to an alternate storage device and optimizes the security of data throughout its lifecycle by managing the copies it makes on multi-copy, multi-media repositories. This not only reduces online disk space and frees up storage for reuse, but also provides cost benefits by facilitating
- Reduced backup requirements
- Simplified storage management and administration
- Improved performance of servers
- Consolidation of secondary storage
