Protecting Data in an Era of Content Creation – Presented by Softchoice + EMC

Preview:

DESCRIPTION

This presentation was delivered during the February and March Discovery Series events titled “Protecting Data in an Era of Content Creation” sponsored by EMC. Storage budgets are only growing 3-4% per year, but data is growing 30-40% per year – so in five years you will have to manage roughly five times as much data, with roughly the same budget. This data is also being accessed by more people, from more places and in new ways. The end result is that some of the old-standby approaches to protecting data are no longer cost effective or manageable. This presentation looks at the strategies IT can employ to provide adequate levels of protection and availability in a very different data management environment. If you have any questions about the content or the event, please contact @scTechEvents.

The Story We Find Ourselves In

• We are entering a new era of Content Creation• Today’s needs are stretching old approaches• Tomorrow's needs are demanding new

approaches

Technology Centric Model Focuses On Data

• Access to Data• Data Processing Performance• Protecting Data

Technology-Centric Model

In the new world of Information…

• Information meanings are variable and that’s OK.• Audio & video are going to be just as important

as text.• Unstructured data will be as searchable and

useable as structured data is today.
