Hi, storage is growing at exponential rates across organizations as most and more and more data are being produced and consumed on daily basis.

George Orwell always said all animals are equal but there are animals more equal than the others. Same as data, not all data are created equal. An organization need to have an evolving strategy to manage different data types and the growth rate of such and secure the most sense of data at the same time.

Here are seven benefits to keep in mind while purchasing a storage solution:

Any storage solution no matter how small it may be it needs to be completely scalable that can grow with the certain growth of mind over Data over the coming years.
Storage solutions need to optimize the data storage based on different data types.
Data protection and recovery should be easy to deploy and test since disasters can hit you at any point in time.
Current and future performance should not be compromised at the growth of data taking place.
Lower the up-front capital costs and management costs while maintaining the possibility to invest in the future as your needs grow.
Know the cost per terabyte ensures savings to the organization.
Simple data migration should be possible whenever the need arises.

IT managers and administrators are always continuously challenged and under pressure to grow the storage infrastructure while at the same time needs to ensure that the data is safe and secure. To do that the storage infrastructure strategy needs to be built with the future of mind and you need to have incremental growth that is building your strategy and building your plans.

We hope the above tips will guide you through that process. As a summary when making a storage decision please always look at these three P’s : performance, price and protections.

Case Study

A financial brokerage company was doing an audit to determine their readiness for restoring lost data in the case of a disaster. As they did their business continuity exercise, they determined that the backup and restore procedure was not effective or fast enough since their backup system still used tapes and restoring them took too long. After the audit they decided to get rid of their old system and buy the latest storage devices hosted in two different locations with automatic backups happening on an hourly basis. They were able to start with a small data storage size that was enough for their current year needs but which could be expanded to 10 times their needs without having to change the systems. In their process, the backup and recovery time was reduced from a couple of hours to a couple of minutes.
