Point of View Session: Today’s state and local government agencies are streamlining and automating their day-to-day operations to enhance efficiency and responsiveness for public programs and services. The increase in online initiatives promotes the need for 24-hour, nonstop operations. And those very initiatives translate to explosive data growth, data security challenges and the criticality of keeping those storage costs under control.
Storage capacity reduction and space reclamation are popular topics for agency IT departments facing tight CAPEX funding. Although many options exist to reclaim space, implementing an archive solution can produce quick results and immediate savings. Secondary savings in the costs of backup, management and cost of growth can also be attributed to an archive tier implement in the storage architecture.
What you will learn:
- Recognize and measure costs of old data buried within your agency’s storage infrastructure
- Measure costs of risks associated with data management and archiving
- Compare backup costs (and effort) between storage environments that have, or do not have, an archive tier available
