storage hierarchy requirements, and which data
need the greatest protection. You’ll know what
audits and certifications are most critical to your
specific data management, security and
compliance requirements. And, the field of service
providers capable of satisfying all the conditions
will be narrowed dramatically, making your
evaluation process much less of an ordeal.
