Data Archiving & Compliance
A substantial amount of data growth can be attributed to the storage of inactive data, comprising both structured and unstructured data.
The management of this data is becoming an important business issue for a number of reasons:
Storing large volumes of inactive data on high performance, production disk is expensive when compared to lower cost disk such as SATA or FATA or other near-line or off-line media such as tape or optical.
Time to restore can be significantly impacted by the existence of non-business critical data residing on key business servers.
Database performance can be significantly improved by reducing the volume of inactive, archive data.
Compliance and regulatory requirements demand that an organisation has an archiving strategy.
The growth of unstructured data has been prolific and represents increasing amounts of an organisations intellectual capital. This data needs to be stored cost effectively but should also be easily retrieved through intelligent searches and indexing.
Where Tectrade can help
Tectrade design modern data and storage infrastructures that provide many of the requirements of an effective data archiving strategy:
An industrial strength enterprise backup and recovery solution that provides
back-stop data protection and delivers many of the features of archiving required for compliance and business operations.
A tiered storage environment enables an organisation to match performance, availability and cost with the business value of data.
We incorporate a number of storage classes to support different servers depending on their importance to the business.
In addition to reducing cost in the production environment, these storage tiers also provide repositories for inactive and archive data.

A combination of enterprise backup and recovery and a tiered storage will deliver many of an
organisations archiving requirements. However, it may be necessary to introduce additional archiving software tools to manage large
volumes of inactive or archive data or deal with specific retention or compliance issues.
These software tools fall into a number of broad categories:
