Effectively Mitigating The Cost of Data Back-Up

By Paul Chisholm
As any business grows, so does the volume of data that its IT staff must back-up and store. In fact, Network World reports that the use of electronic communications alone, such as e-mail, is increasing 20% per year; and message stores are growing more than 35% annually. Moreover, with the increase in compliance regulations, such as Sarbanes-Oxley, HIPAA and Section 404, companies are overwhelmed with the amount of data requiring collection and storage.

It is evident that the need for increased bandwidth for data storage continues to be on the rise. According to Computer Technology Review, enterprise data will continue to grow exponentially by 50% per year on average.

Storing back-up data off-site is critical and becomes particularly important when a crisis occurs and access to on-site data back-up is impossible. There is no benefit to creating a back-up file of valuable data if this information is not transferred via a secure method and stored in an off-site data storage center with foolproof protection. And with the increase in data that requires storage, off-site storage facilities are in even more demand.
