Or maybe you’ve tried various hardware storage techniques to hold off the beast: optimizing your storage via compression, tiered storage, or de-duping
An end-to-end EIM solution for me would at least have to include capture (get it in), advanced BPM (connect it to processes and content within the entire information infrastructure - not just content in SharePoint) and archival (long term tiered storage under strict records management for inactive SharePoint content amongst other volumes of old non-SharePoint content that we need to keep)

The inactive stuff can be kept in SharePoint as well, but again if you have a lot (and industry averages seem to suggest something between 25-30 percent of SharePoint content is inactive) I would recommend you look into an archival solution that allows you to take advantage of the cost savings attributed to tiered storage. And for all the garbage - if you have the courage - press the big red delete button and reclaim some of that storage space
Archiving and tiered storage Being able to select the most appropriate storage type for archived data, can have a positive impact on reducing storage costs

Some tips for minimizing the total cost of ownership of your SharePoint include: Identify content for RBS using business rules determined by activity, tag, and location to determine the state of the information lifecycle Connect to existing file share drives to avoid time- and resource-intensive migration Reduce cost by moving storage heavy, unstructured data (BLOBs) from expensive SQL Server content databases to lower tier storage Archive dated and inactive content to cheaper storage Automate backup, storage optimization, and reporting jobs as well as adopt user-driven site creation and lifecycle management technologies Anticipate costs and create charge back models with comprehensive reporting that helps predict storage growth, user activity, and appropriate level of service Move to a cloud-based infrastructure with built-in global redundancy Assuring a repeatable, predictable, and governable center of information collaboration allows organizations to drastically minimize their total cost of ownership
By taking advantage of a tiered storage infrastructure we can reduce costs from five to ten times, archiving content on cheaper, more cost effective storage
Viable alternates and supplements to hanging new disk include: Implementing tiered storage systems (see SIS Delta 860, 19 Apr 2000) that cost effectively balance levels of data utility with data availability using a variety of media
