File storage growth—the challenge

Global digital information doubles every 18 months— so if you currently manage 100 TB of data, it’ll

be 200 TB in 18 months time, and that is just the average.. File storage growth drives most of that increase.. Managing storage growth is a difficult task on the whole, but the distributed nature of unstructured file-based data adds to the challenge significantly, and drives the need for improved file serving solutions..

Rapid file storage growth, driven by rich media like audio, video, graphics, backup files, and email is impacting businesses more now than ever before.. You not only require immediate access to exploding volumes of data, but government regulations and corporate governance are dictating what must be kept, for how long, and the speed with which it must be accessed.. Therefore, it is critical that you invest in a cost-effective, modular, file-serving solution that can support your business now and well into the future.. Consolidating file data with a dedicated Network Attached Storage (NAS) solution can help you address your changing file serving needs and reduce your cost of ownership by enabling simplified management, better resource utilization, centralized growth, and data protection..
