Data storage is the collection and retention of digital information using computers and other devices. The information is kept in a digital format to be retrieved and accessed later by users and applications. The methods and technologies used for data storage vary greatly, but the basic concept is always the same: information is kept so that it can be accessed again later.

Managing data storage grows more difficult year-over-year. Organizations from small businesses, mid-size enterprises, to large corporations are more reliant on their data than ever. Performance-hungry applications and the rapid progress and the growing need to store data are making it more costly and increasingly demanding to ensure data is available when needed. Businesses need powerful yet cost-efficient solutions that can help streamline data management, reduce latency, enable stronger data protection, and make data continuously available.

Data storage today is more diverse than ever and resides in many locations, thanks to evolving technologies like hybrid cloud, multi cloud and public cloud, software as a service (SaaS), disaster recovery as a service (DRaaS), in addition to traditional on-premises compute, applications, databases and storage requirements. The challenges for managing data today include:

Managing Growth – As data demands grow, the cost and complexity of storing, managing, and protecting it increases as well.

Containing Costs – IT budgets can hardly keep pace with the growing complexity and data storage demands.

Protecting Data Resources – Data is a very valuable asset and is constantly under attack and must be protected from loss, theft, and corruption. Data must be backed up at geo-redundant locations.

Simplifying Management – Managing data storage can easily overwhelm IT teams that are also working on other priorities.

Reducing Latency – Evolving technologies need real-time access to data, requiring data storage solutions with minimal latency.

Providing Easy Access – Developers, IT operations, security, compliance, and a wide variety of users all need access to data quickly and easily.

Compliance – Increasing volumes of data make it hard to determine whether data follows policies, regulations, and laws.
