An increase in the volume of data, the usage of cloud technologies, Big Data leads to a huge growth of critical data and, consequently, to an increase in the volume of storage. Simply adding additional drives is not always an option. The right strategy allows you not only to increase storage capacity, but also reduce costs and increase productivity in the future.
There are many options for building data storage systems: hybrid and software storage environments, SAN, DAS, NAS, disk, tape, flash solutions, cloud storage, as well as integrated solutions. The choice depends on the tasks and needs.
In any case, a data storage system is specialized hardware and software designed to quickly work with huge amounts of valuable information.
- decentralization of information, especially in the case of geographically distributed offices
- a huge increase in the volume of information and, as a result, impossibility to fully protect data, low speed of information processing, complexity of backups
- complexity of managing distributed information flows
- high consumption of resources used
- fault tolerance
- availability of data
- management and control tools
- performance
- scalability
- storage devices (disks, flash, tapes)
- storage access infrastructure
- backup and archiving system
- storage management software

In addition to a competent approach to data storage, it is important to take into account the potential for its loss. Data can be lost as a result of human error, theft, malware actions, storage device breakdowns. To protect against such cases, backup and data recovery systems are used. This can be software, firmware, or software as a service (SaaS).
What's the threat of the wrong backup approach? Even what lies on the surface (for example, in the absence of a centralized approach, the amount of data grows uncontrollably, the problem of determining current versions, the problem of removing obsolete information, the problem of data value criteria) can cause significant damage to any company.
