Lost tapes have make good news copy however, lost or stolen PDAs, USB devices, laptops and HDDs removed from retired storage systems are a growing threatRisk. Reported along withun-reported events areon the rise!

A key question is, can you or yourbusiness afford the risk of data being lost or stolen?
Is more data being lost or stolen today than in the past?Industry Trends – Information Security
Lost tapes are actually on the decline, However…..

• Shift from doing more with what you have, doing more with less
• Continued growth and shift towards unstructured data usage
• Emergence of data barns or bulk storage for unstructured data
• Unstructured data requires meta tools for management
• Boosting performance while improving storage utilization
• New data access patterns and lifestyles:– Old story: Data goes idle after so many days– New story: Data goes idle, then gets busy, then idle, then…– New story: Commercial I/O getting bigger, HPC small meta lookups– New story: Data stays put, how its accessed changes– New story: NFS & CIFS, HTTP & XML access– New story: Even databases using DIO & CIO on NAS– New story: SMB today, F1000, F500, F100 tomorrow!!!

• Develop an overall data foot reduction strategy– Address on-line primary, secondary and off-line data– Combine archiving, compression and de-dupe in strategy
• Archiving and pruning with data classification– Database, email, un-structured block and file– Big benefit, costly to deploy (people, hardware, software)
• Compression for on-line and off-line storage– Can be applied to most any data type for some benefit– On-line real-time compression for active primary data
• Single Instance Storage (SIS) & De-duplication– Initially targeted at backup and archive– Look into scaling capabilities and claims by vendors
See “Business Benefits of Data Footprint Reduction” www.storageio.com
Hot Storage Topics – Data Footprint ReductionArchiving, Compress (On and Off-line), De-duplication

• You Can’t Go Forward if You Can’t Go Back!
• You Can’t Delete What You Have Not Preserved– Assuming your data has some value, preserve before delete
• You Can’t Preserve What You Can’t Move– Automated or Manual Data Movement/Migration Tools
• You Can’t Move What You Don’t Manage– Rules and Polices Needed To Manage Migration Process
• You Can’t Manage What You Don’t Know About– Identify What Data, Files and Objects you have = Insight– Database vs. Unstructured data = Welcome to the new world!
Next To Final CommentsBasic Premises and Themes – This is Not Rocket Science!

• Many approaches depending upon your issues– Do more with what you have, maximize what you have
• Avoid simply moving IT problems around– Gain control of data and infrastructure management– Virtualization improves utilization, not necessarily performance
• Balance futures with what works today– Leverage what works, learn about the trends
• Where you can learn more:– SearchStorage and other TechTarget venues and seminars– www.storageio.com (see portfolio for articles etc)– www.greendatastorage.com various articles and links
