International analysts agree that information which is electronically managed by an enterprise increases rapidly and, on an annual basis, nearly doubles. Of this information, only 10% is structured information included in business applications (ERP, CRM, SCM) whereas the remaining 90% is unstructured information, existing in the form of different files (e-mails, office automation files, PDFs, scanner images, photos, videos, and the like).
For every enterprise, digital information storage, as well as forecasts of future storage media needs, represent a challenge. Despite the fact that prices per Terra Byte are in constant decline, this decline fails to offset the increasing rate of storage room requirements. At the same time, an organisation must store critical information on a long-term basis and receive security copies in a variety of digital media. Furthermore, regulatory requirements for storing different forms of digital files are constantly increasing, depending on the type of each enterprise.
As a result, it is vitally important for a company to develop and constantly adjust a thorough, comprehensive and cohesive digital information management policy. This policy must address issues such as:
- Mid- to High-end Storage Architectures (NAS, SAN, DAS)
- Storage Tiering or Hierarchy
- Backup & Recovery
- Storage Replication & Deduplication
- Records Management & Archiving
- E-mail Archiving
- Data & Information Protection
