Compliance Storage
The growing body of regulatory mandates and the accompanying non-compliance risks have moved regulatory compliance to the forefront of the IT organization's priorities. Thus far, many of these initial compliance efforts have focused solely on securing data associated with messaging environments, or ERP data. However, the compliance problem, as companies are starting to realize, is actually much broader. Regulatory rules may not distinguish among data types. Given the current regulatory environment, it is a strong possibility that regulators may require recovery of your company's presentation, spreadsheet, or file documents. Therefore, compliance departments at many institutions have begun to address the need to retain additional types of data (unstructured data) such as spreadsheets, presentations, files created by in-house applications, and other data normally stored in a file system.
The Challenge: Complying with Strict Records Retention Rules for Unstructured Data
Given the size of potential fines and the resultant potential reputational damage, it doesn't pay to ignore the unstructured data compliance challenge. But compliantly archiving large amounts of unstructured data could be very costly. Imagine having to duplicate and store every full and incremental tape backup on WORM storage for a specified retention period (e.g., three years). The resource burden would be immense. Without the right solution, the challenge presented to IT departments is that these critical compliance data types require a vast amount of compliance archival storage and complex policy management.
