WikitipEmail archive vendors should keep infrastructure and applications separateAs the email archiving market realigns, vendors should choose where they compete carefully. Strategies that vertically integrate infrastructure with risk mitigation and deep application function are unlikely to retain long-term economies of scale. Strategies that lock in customers by restricting their ability to exploit the data in the archive are very unlikely to retain traction. |
Featured Case StudyFinancial giant goes greenThe corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems. |

Planning a Green Storage InitiativeFluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment.
