Do you know who your storage hogs are? Every organization has them, whether it’s folks who save everything or applications that just need more capacity every year. And let’s face it: The need for increased storage capacity isn’t just a result of your company pack rats – it’s often a necessity due to growing data sets, data retention policies and regulatory compliance requirements.
On average, organizations expand their need for storage by 20-60% on an annual basis, outgrowing capacity of existing storage regularly. Can cloud storage help contain the costs of this spiraling growth?
With cloud storage gateways like TwinStrata CloudArray, many organizations successfully manage growing capacity without the additional storage upgrades, floor space and maintenance headaches associated with traditional on-premise infrastructure. Starting with backups, archives or secondary tiers of storage, you can begin to offload growing data to the cloud and build a plan to keep your on-premise capacity growth in check. You can spend less time trying to control and chastise your storage hogs, and spend more time building your business.
Now while we wouldn’t suggest letting storage users go “hog wild,” we do suggest learning more about how cloud storage can ease managing capacity growth. To that end, TwinStrata is giving away free storage hogs (pictured above) to visitors to our CloudExpo Booth #339 at the Javits Center, NY, June 11-14. Please mention this blog post to receive your very own while they last.
Visit us at CloudExpo and learn how easy it is to manage your data using the cloud.
