As data volumes grow, so do storage infrastructures, and this encounters companies with major challenges. Initially, the resources have to be provided and integrated. Cost considerations are usually the first priority here. However, the increasing data volumes and correspondingly larger infrastructures also lead to higher energy requirements and more CO2 …
The growth of unstructured data is one of the major challenges for enterprise IT departments. The enormous volumes of data require more storage capacity year after year. The infrastructure requirements are very high: The storage solution must meet high demands when it comes to performance and availability. Tight budget constraints …
Data volumes are rising fast and show no sign of slowing down. This places businesses under ever greater pressure. The rise of digitization is resulting in increasingly large volumes of data being generated across all fields of business. As a result, there is a need for flexible and scalable storage …
Research data, whether in the form of scientific notes or measurement results, is a valuable raw material. And if it contains individuals’ personal data – when working in the social sciences, for example – then it is also subject to legal data protection requirements. Empirical data takes significant amounts of …
Previously on our blog, we showed you how the CloudMirror functionality of NetApp StorageGRID can be used to replicate objects. NetApp StorageGRID (SGRID) systems can also be used to set up an in-depth information lifecycle management (ILM) policy. ILM rules can be used to specify the location, duration and protection …
Object storage systems are undoubtedly designed for maximum availability and capable of surviving a wide range of failure scenarios – from hard drive defects and failed system nodes to an entire data centre going down. But despite the high availability of such systems, it is important not to disregard data …
