Enterprise Data Storage

Paper Summary:

The paper overviews enterprise data storage management as well as the future trends in information management and data storage. The paper explores the information life cycle management (ILM) and tiered storage solutions for network storage. The paper also looks at other types of storage systems, like networked attached storage (NAS) and storage area network (SAN). A discussion on risk mitigation for each alternative is included as well as a discussion on electronic discovery and deduplication.

From the Paper:

"Data Storage is generally divided into two; one is customer storage, which only uses typical disk drives, flash drives or local hard disk in PC or in laptop. While Enterprise Data Storage is the mainly use for large enterprise storage for big industry or company. The data that is being stored in this centralize storage comes from a variety of source, it can either come from customer transactions, that can come from the different parts of the globe, it can also include local data storage for development purposes, like these storage can hold data samples for integration testing and Users Acceptance Testing by both the development team and the customers respectively."
