5 Data Demands You Need
to Address Now
Data comes at your business from every direction—employee
desktops, mobile apps and devices, the internet, e-commerce, big
data repositories, and the IoT. Managing and storing the flow of data
so your company can protect it and put it to profitable use presents
5 increasingly complex and urgent challenges for your business.
Scalability
DEMAND #1
Today, and as your organization grows, your data storage should be built to scale up.
Without it, your business faces:
Risk of data loss,
threatening business continuity,
customer experience, and
regulatory compliance1
Disruption of operations when
forklift upgrades are required
Mounting costs for data
migrations to new storage media
Burdened and inefficient
primary storage arrays,
shortening their life
Slow transit of compressed
and encrypted data chunks
during disaster recovery
Painstakingly long and
drawn out backup and
archiving processes
High storage consumption can impact the quality and speed of your backup and recovery, leading to:
Losing data hurts your business, but even a single hour of downtime can cost hundreds
of thousands of dollars.
