File storage growth—the challenge
Global digital information doubles every 18 months—
so if you currently manage 100 TB of data, it’ll
be 200 TB in 18 months time, and that is just the
average. File storage growth drives most of that
increase. Managing storage growth is a difficult task
on the whole, but the distributed nature of unstructured
file-based data adds to the challenge significantly, and
drives the need for improved file serving solutions.
Rapid file storage growth, driven by rich media like
audio, video, graphics, backup files, and email is
impacting businesses more now than ever before. You
not only require immediate access to exploding volumes
of data, but government regulations and corporate
governance are dictating what must be kept, for how
long, and the speed with which it must be accessed.
Therefore, it is critical that you invest in a cost-effective,
modular, file-serving solution that can support your
business now and well into the future. Consolidating
file data with a dedicated Network Attached Storage
(NAS) solution can help you address your changing
file serving needs and reduce your cost of ownership
by enabling simplified management, better resource
utilization, centralized growth, and data protection.
