What stands between you and a disaster? For the people who have to plan, deploy and manage DR processes these can be summed up into three major categories: budget (money), skills and bandwidth.
With for most emerging technologies, the hype is bigger than the reality. A welcome exception is cloud storage, which is enabling many organizations to achieve major economies of scale and greater control of growing data volumes. A Commvault user survey of 535 executives reveals that more than half are looking at cloud storage.
The explosion of data growth driven by business demands puts a tremendous strain on IT resources and Green IT strategy. Green IT initiatives now often include projects looking at how to access and manage data more efficiently across areas such as disaster recovery, compliance, backup, eDiscovery, and archive. Inefficient management of applications and data significantly compounds the data growth challenge and improving upon this, affords a real opportunity to make an immediate and tangible impact on Green IT strategy.
In litigation, the document review process is characterized as excessively time-consuming, costly and repetitive. This Commvault whitepaper addresses the challenges organizations faced in using ediscovery solutions, techniques and best practices to enable companies to take back control over the ediscovery workflow process while reducing overall costs and risks.
We know Compliance and eDiscovery business requirements are driven by the need to manage different types of information risk – the risk of not being able to find evidence during litigation and the risk of not retaining records in compliance with specific legislation, or in other words an inability to access or organize relevant information. After all, why retain data if you can't search or organize it?
Many organizatins choose to address eDiscovery challenges only after being hit with a lawsuit. This reactive approach is both expensive and time consuming. It also precludes the process of comprehensive planning and exposes the organization to greater risks. This white paper takes a look at one eDiscovery approach using Commvault Simpana software. Commvault's eDiscovery solution parallels the workflow set forth by lawyers and technologists that make up the Electronic Discovery Reference Model.
A large portion of any organization’s unstructured data is likely to be stale with little business relevance. A significant amount of that data is redundant. Most storage environments are a concoction of active, inactive, irrelevant, and aged data. As IT and storage managers, you have to deal with this as efficiently and cost-effectively as possible in the face of consistent yearly data growth of 50 to 60 percent.
Public and private sector organizations are moving to digitally stored information. The challenge for many IT systems is how to provide fast access to the information as and when it is called for. Equally important is hwo to access relevant data, in relation to other bits of information, and extract real business value. This Commvault paper looks at the available options for organizations.
For businesses and government organizations to fully realize and protect the inherent value of the data within their service, they have to recognize the need to eliminate deployment of multiple point solutions and embrace a unified approach to data management. If they do this they are in a position not only to reap the benefits in terms of business continuity and disaster recovery.
Building a storage software company a decade ago was a high-risk venture, but according to CommVault CEO Robert Hammer, the company new it would succeed if it stuck to its original vision -- which now includes data management in the cloud.
