WikitipNew World Data ProtectionStorage vendors are leading in today's data protection market with de-dup, single instancing, archiving, data dispersion and erasure technologies, as a natural extension of existing franchises. (see Compression and De-duplication key to EMCs data protection strategies) Data protection is a legacy term receiving new world definition in an effort by storage vendors to capture market interest and validate the technical offerings of their storage hardware or software product line. However, data protection has a much broader meaning in business, law, and the information management industry in general. It is very important to understand this broader meaning and limits of the new world definition. Here is an example of key principles of data protection (not an exhaustive list).
To understand the new world data protection marketplace, it's best to start with a definition of what is data protection. Although it's difficult to find consensus on an exact definition, some believe that data protection is the implementation of administrative, technical, or physical measures to guard against the unauthorized access to data. But unfortunately, the simple term "access" may not convey requirements for availability, accessibility, accessibility, identity management, and auditing and monitoring. And vendor storage platforms that tout only backup and recovery features fall short of satisfying the requirements of a more complete definition. |
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.
