Reduce Cost
Unstructured data is growing rapidly so reducing the cost of data centers is a constant battle.
Cloud has its role in reducing data center cost, but there are many more solutions.
Use the Cloud
Identify and move the right data to the cloud to free up expensive on-premisis storage. Leverage cloud provider renewable energy sources to lower carbon emissions associated with data storage.
Use Lower Tier Storage
Identify and move the right data to lower tier storage to free up expensive Tier 1 storage.
Optimize Existing Storage
Identify and move data between any unused space to decommission old and expensive storage quicker. Take advantage of storage with the lowest cost.
Backup the Edge
Avoid using expensive backup solutions at every branch office and backup to the core instead.
