Archival storage functionality evolving with data growth and changing content management requirements

Suffice to say, the ever increasing need to create, ingest, manage, and store various content types including documents, emails and other forms of messaging, images, video, voice, and Web content, as well as structured database content, is pushing the limits of traditional storage capacity, planning methodologies, and data center budgets. In response to compliance and regulatory requirements enacted over the last decade along with changes to the Federal Rules for Civil Procedure (FRCP) that have greatly impacted the way organizations store and “discover” their data, the past several years have been punctuated by a steady stream of mostly point solutions, delivered by the vendor community, that address specific information management pain points, such as the need for data authentication, classification, deduplication, encryption, indexing, migration, and search.
