Infrastructure 2.0 and Cold Storage: A Disruptive Approach to Long-term Data Preservation
With limited IT budgets, enterprises are faced with the dilemma of managing relentless data growth and the need preserve that data. While a multi-tier approach to storage can help significantly, the costs of current storage solutions are misaligned with tiering needs. And offsite storage in cloud requires compromises between costs and control that many companies are unwilling to make.
This white paper explores how the open compute project paves the way for hardware and software to come together through open standards to fundamentally change the economics of data retention, making cold data storage for long-term preservation both practical and cost-efficient.
