Attend the “The Active Archiving Ecosystem” virtual conference to learn how active archiving enables organizations to manage and monetize data at scale while reducing overall storage costs and enhancing cyber resilience. DCIG is moderating this virtual conference on September 22, 2022.
If you already use cloud storage to store some or all your archival or backup data, you are in good company. A recent survey of nearly 600 companies found that over 80 percent of them already use the cloud. This potentially creates a new challenge. They find their cloud storage needs change and they must migrate their data from one cloud to another. When this infrequent situation arises, they will find four cloud-to-cloud data migration options available to them.
All organizations hate introducing risk into their production IT environments. Yet many organizations of all sizes regularly take undocumented risks whenever they migrate data from one storage target to another. The need for data migrations often occurs any time they introduce a new storage array or storage target into their environment. While the risk level varies from one organization to the next, none are completely immune from them.
Few data center technologies currently generate more buzz than hyper-converged infrastructure solutions. By combining compute, data protection, flash, scale-out, and virtualization into a single self-contained unit, organizations get the best of what each of these individual technologies has to offer with the flexibility to implement each one in such a way that it matches their specific business needs. Yet organizations must exercise restraint in how many attributes they ascribe to hyper-converged infrastructure solutions as their adoption is a journey, not a destination.
One of my favorite all time movies is The Terminator. It is one of those timeless classics whose video was less than optional, it had some cheesy special effects and it contained dialog that was highlighted by “I’ll be back.” Yet despite these flaws what carried The Terminator and still makes it popular to this day was its compelling story line.
