With LTFS, which boasts the convenience of USB and external storage options and generally larger capacities, tape has regained its rightful place among other data storage technologies. LTFS enables organizations to push the boundaries of magnetic tape storage with both traditional and nontraditional uses
Since the metadata and information about the files is stored on the tape and is self-contained, it is possible to use a tape cartridge in a manner similar to a removable drive or USB stick, but with higher storage potential
The Linear Tape File System (LTFS) is one of the most important breakthroughs in magnetic tape storage (yes, it's still alive and is experiencing a resurgence)
Is storing files in a cloud storage application collaboration or is it just a smart FTP site?
The nature of and increasing reliance on cloud storage presents unique challenges for information and records management
We want to make sure our Big Picture strategy includes storage optimization, so when a piece of content, or an entire SharePoint site is no longer involved in active processes we can execute an action to move it to a long-term preservation environment, or archive. 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
He understands that keeping everything indefinitely will require more storage but thinks it is less expensive than the alternative
Mobile devices Home computers Portable storage such as CD’s, DVD’s and USB drives
There is really no excuse anymore not to use the tools and skills that one already has to limit risks and cost of risky custodians, locations and projects, let alone the benefits of less storage, less duplicates, less backup and better knowledge management
Then, project that amount through the revised definition of Moore’s Law, which predicts that computing and storage capacity will continue to double every 18 months – probably for the next two decades. Storage costs themselves are so low that constantly bumping up capacity can seem like the obvious, no-brainer solution to “managing” data. However, if situations arise in which particular information must be found and retrieved within repositories, storage-first solutions compromise organizations’ ability to control processing costs, work efficiently and minimize legal risk
