Secure management of company data

Managing data Growth is the Number One concern of CIO’s and IT directors, closely followed by ensuring proper data backup and recovery. With enterprises generating content and data continuously and rapidly, the volume of information to be managed is growing exponentially. Over time however, the relevance and value for organizations and their business of these huge amounts of data changes considerably. Surveys by leading market research companies reveal that more than 80% of data on primary disks are never accessed after the first year. Meanwhile this data is constantly subject to backup and is even migrated within new storage over the years.
