Unravelling Why Tape Storage Offers A Low TCO
HPE News, Monday, May 13th, 2024
Explore the benefits of tape storage in managing the ever-growing influx of data. Delve into the cost-effectiveness, sustainability, scalability, and security advantages of LTO tape technology - and discover how tape storage helps organizations address the challenge of long-term data retention while minimizing financial and environmental impacts.
We don't delete anything anymore. We all have that never-ending catalog of photos, a Word document we just can't bring ourselves to delete, or that one very important email archived indefinitely in the event it's required one day. On that note, there are those things that we legally can't delete. For instance, consider X-rays, CT scans, and MRIs, which medical organizations must retain for patient care, regulatory and compliance purposes for time frames spanning decades.
This seemingly indefinite need for data retention is creating a deluge of inactive, never-to-be-deleted data. And that's a growing problem for enterprise IT teams tasked to store and manage all this information without breaking the bank. One storage solution perfectly poised for this exact challenge at the lowest possible total cost of ownership (TCO) is LTO tape technology.
