STORAGE-AS-A-SERVICE

Today's IT resources are consumed with day-to-day data management

With today's exponential data growth, increasingly distributed workforces and complicated regulatory requirements, IT resources are often consumed with data management - typically at the expense of applying their expertise to advance the business. CIOs are giving greater consideration to outsourcing than ever before and are looking to Storage-as-a-Service for data protection expertise to free up IT resources.

• How do I plan to use data now and in the future?
• How do I make data accessible and useful?
• How does data management affect my workflow?
• Do I have visibility into the Chain of Custody?
• Can I access my data quickly and easily?

In today's fast-changing environment, companies cannot afford to overlook the expertise, speed-to-market and cost benefits outsourcing data management can deliver.

Data management is complicated, exposing your company to risk

While you've made best efforts to assure you could continue with business as usual in the event of a disaster and have likely addressed regulatory compliance requirements, staffing all the expertise necessary for effective data management in-house typically isn't viable. Even if you're confident in your data protection practices, getting to the information you need quickly can be a tremendous challenge.

With Storage-as-a-Service, you can get quick, "rich" access to information for legal discovery, business continuity, disaster recovery, compliance, audits and other demands. Whether search, recovery, destruction of data, business continuity, file restoration, or policy-driven retention periods to name a few, Storage-as-a-Service can make data not just safe and secure, but useful, delivering IT business value.

Storage-as-a-Service: Data in, Value out

Online data protection and recovery, digital records management and information destruction are only part of the Storage-as-a-Service equation. Equally important, Storage-as-a-Service enables you to:

• Know what data you have stored
• Know it's secure
• Know you can get it when you need it
