Expert insights offered in article and gathered in exclusive survey, offer insights on data and storage consolidation that are resonating throughout the IT industry.
Minneapolis, MN (PRWEB) November 8, 2007 — Evolving Solutions, a leading data backup and recovery and storage consolidation provider is sharing crisp new thoughts on data backup with the article and corresponding survey “Is Tape Dead?”
“Is Tape Dead?” , penned by Evolving Solutions Director of Professional Services Chris Taylor, delves into the current and evolving mind swell surrounding data backup and recovery. By shining a light on the very realistic pros and cons to both tape and disc storage techniques, Taylor helps solidify a creative and practical approach to data storage that includes both.
“One way to address both the need for faster restores and a solution for longer term storage and archiving of data is to utilize both tape and disk,” states Taylor in the article. “For example, critical backup data can be stored on disk for rapid restore, a copy of the critical data can be copied to tape, and less critical data can be staged to disk and then written directly to tape. Using this method, less critical data can be staged to tape over time while mission critical data is available for rapid restore.”
