Tech Alert: Maximize Secondary Usage of Archived Data by Ensuring Access for Analytics, Governance, and Future Applications
Summary
Whether it’s for deriving insight, regulatory compliance or audit, or other workflows, organizations are finding new reasons to use old data, and the increased need to access it can be challenging. Backup and archive platforms have traditionally used proprietary data formats as a means to offer more robust features such as security and performance. Direct access to the archived data becomes even more important when organizations make efforts to prune and reduce primary storage capacity. “Business archives today are vast, millions or billions of files, and not only need to be accessible forever for recovery and privacy-management purposes, they contain a treasure trove of historical data that could be re-used to stay ahead of the competition or provide better services to customers,” said Victoria Grey, CMO, Aparavi. Cloud freedom, combined with Aparavis technology to reduce data up to 75 percent, delivers huge cost savings, agility, and independence.
