How Do You Back Up 100PB Of Data?
Blocks&Files, February 3rd, 2023
You don't. It's too much data and takes too long. That's the view of Jason Lohrey, founder and CEO at Australian data management company Arcitecta.
He founded the company in 1998 and grew it without venture capital funding to provide its Mediaflux data management software. It now has more than 350 customers, with many in the life sciences and research community, and has decided to exit its stealth mode of operation.
Lohrey's outfit maintains that 'for years, IT administrators have worked hard to back up an increasing tsunami of data, and with each passing year, that has become harder to manage. In some cases, backup has been abandoned altogether.'
