Storage, Backup and Information Lifecycle Management

Consider the volume of data produced each day in your organization. It serves many purposes. But what do you do with this data when it's no longer needed on a day-to-day basis? Are you storing, backing up, archiving and protecting your information. Massachusetts-based analysts Enterprise Strategies Group recently studied backup and recovery issues in mid-size organizations. Their key findings:

• Data volumes are increasing (25%+ in many cases)
• Most organizations say they'll suffer significant consequences if downed applications are not running within 24 hours
• Organizations are embracing data protection – if data drives business, it must be protected
• The single greatest data protection challenge is getting back-up jobs done in allotted timeframes
• A disconnect exists between the perceived value of data and the frequency with which its backed up
• Organizations contend with reliability issues (25% of companies reported a 20% failure rate for tape-based backup operations, most due to media failure.)
