Active archive software: Not just for the enterprise anymore


Small and midsize organizations face data storage management challenges just like large enterprises. Even though disks are growing in capacity, the amount of data being created, processed and stored continues to grow at ever-increasing rates. While disk-based storage becomes cheaper, facility costs for power, space and cooling continue to grow.



Even for small and medium-sized businesses, retaining idle data that is too valuable to delete but too expensive to store on spinning disks is a perfect task for robotic tape libraries with the right software management system. This setup is considered an "active archive" which refers to archive data thats accessible but not instantly available though an active archive can be stored on disk as well as on tape at some point in its lifetime.
