Czech companies will meet data collapse

If they don’t change way of data storing

Amount of data stored on company disks increase by 60% yearly. Total volume of worldwide electronic information in 2010 will correspond to a pile of books reaching from Sun to Pluto and back. Up to 90% of company backup data are stored of little avail. Companies may lose valuable information without managing of their swelling data. So called Data Deduplication is the proper solution.

Companies have to solve their data storing and archiving systematically. Otherwise the data stored today do not need to be available in a couple of years or even months. Companies will have to spend lot of money especially for new backup media. “The more backup media are maintained in a company, the more risk of their failures, damages or losses. Furthermore, so many documents might be gathered that nobody will be able to find out the right one among all the backup disks,” says Petr Divis from S&T CZ.

The most advanced technology delivered by EMC can ‘compress data’ so that no information on disk is repeated. “This sophisticated Data Deduplication can reduce even MPEG video file, which is in principle very low-size, by another 20%,” describes Vladimír Kyša what the newest EMC technologies promise.
