Growing volumes of inactive data are a concern for companies of all sizes. Many analysts and industry publications agree that 80% of all stored data is inactive. Once created, data is rarely, if ever, accessed after 30 to 90 days. As a result, the everincreasing demand for storage capacity poses a real problem.
Companies also recognize that not all of their data holds equal value. But most continue to store all of their data on a single tier of storage with the same protection level because they believe that implementing a tiered storage approach requires a significant investment in time and resources.
There are new technologies arriving on the market today that solve this problem. Many IT directors and storage administrators recognize they are facing issues that can't be solved with their legacy environment and are eager to learn about new ways to deal with this issue. Recent trends and technologies hold significant promise for managing your growing volumes of data with a tiered storage architecture.
