The topic of data growth and\u00a0security\u00a0<\/strong><\/a>continues to be a challenge for several organizations. The question to \u201cair-gap\u201d or not to \u201cair-gap\u201d is systematically being posed across all industries as they think about a solid backup and archive strategy. Once it involves how and where to invest, air-gapping becomes the last item on the checklist, and understandably so. Data keeps growing and whereas budgets might increase slightly, IT resources are forecasted to remain flat, according to IDC. With such a big amount of avant-garde technologies out there, it appears tape is shrinking in its usage. However, tape\u2019s distinctive ability (despite its advanced age) to morph into a sustainably green, secure, and extremely cost-efficient alternative to different\u00a0backup and archive solutions<\/a>\u00a0permits it to remain relevant \u2013 even over\u00a0cloud<\/a>\u00a0alternatives. I\u2019d say a rebound may be on the horizon\u2026<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

So what\u2019s the chill factor?<\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

As in weather, the wind chill will verify how cold it feels on your skin once the wind is factored in. Likewise, organizations nowadays should perceive their data to see how hot or cold it\u2019s to leverage the acceptable storage solution that\u2019s efficient yet price effective. Much of the data in additional expensive primary storage is cold. Cold data is just sometimes used data. IDC estimates that about 400th of the 7.5 ZB of data are commercially connected and of that, about 60 minutes are cold data or data with expected retrieval of larger than thirty days. This data may be a good candidate for tape storage in your data center or within the cloud. And hey, cold storage doesn\u2019t need a great deal of power and cooling.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Security<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Tape continues to be the de facto to secure your cold storage\/long-term data. Fact is, the physical air-gap between tapes and the network merely doesn\u2019t allow malware\/ransomware or hackers to break through to reach offline data. The goal of these evil agents is to destabilize and destroy the ability to self-recover and then demand a ransom. We\u2019ve heard several stories and firms withdrawing from business because of the vulnerability of keeping all data online. Whereas any online data is destroyed by an eventual hacker, the data stored firmly on tape is untouched with its integrity intact.<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Considering\u00a0each cost and\u00a0damage\u00a0created by these attacks,\u00a0and\u00a0the astronomical hit on your resources and valuable time\u00a0that would\u00a0be spent on managing\u00a0important\u00a0data, there\u00a0are\u00a0quite\u00a0enough reasons\u00a0to make\u00a0the best protection of your\u00a0crucial\u00a0data\u00a0on tape. Sure,\u00a0you\u2019ll\u00a0keep cold\u00a0data\u00a0on hot disk,\u00a0however, the simplest\u00a0approach is to tier it off to\u00a0the foremost\u00a0cost-efficient\u00a0alternative\u00a0\u2013 tape. That\u2019s why\u00a0we extremely suggest\u00a0the 3-2-1-1 approach to protection. At\u00a0the end\u00a0of the day, what matters is \u201care you\u00a0able to\u00a0recover?\u201d. If your\u00a0data\u00a0is chilled, there\u2019s\u00a0no reason to tremble.<\/p>

Economics<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Determining the worth of your data can assist you to perceive the ultimate storage solution needed. Never underestimate the worth of your historical data. We live in a world where our \u201calways online\u201d approach to life opens the door to a barrage of threats. The great news is, economics is on your facet. Tape remains the cheapest price for storage on the market nowadays, and the predictable future. At less than $50\/TB, as long as data is preserved on tape, it\u2019ll provide you with a very cheap total cost of ownership (TCO).<\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Taking these factors into\u00a0consideration\u00a0can\u00a0bring a tiering approach to your backup and archive strategy and\u00a0enable the right\u00a0protection approach for\u00a0the kind\u00a0of data\u00a0in\u00a0need\u00a0of saving, cooling, and securing.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
