Cloud Storage Becoming Key Resource for Companies According to Report
4/23/2012 - The move from process-centric to data- and memory-centric computing is already having an impact on current computing trends. This change introduces a completely new approach to understanding data sets and will require new capabilities to perform fast, efficient data analysis and storage. Accruing large amounts of data and the need for streamlined examination of that data - in terms of efficiency, analysis/recovery speeds, and accuracy, etc. - are combining with large amounts of media content to overrun storage resources. The cloud offers useful solutions in this regard. It will also mean new hardware and software resources - and the ability to run and maintain them.

Cirtas Offers Efficient Cloud Storage with a Local Storage Feel
4/4/2011 - Data storage can be a challenge for any company. As captured in this Cirtas video, storage arrays present challenges, specifically in size and cost. And, while data within the organization continues to grow at a faster pace, budgets do not. Backup servers are large, costly and take up a lot of space, taxing the available resources of the IT department to continue to backup and protect mission critical data. Cloud storage offers an alternative to storage arrays as this process is based on what the company consumes instead of what it may eventually need. The company can easily scale up or down as needed. And, the burden of maintaining the servers is on the service provider, simplifying internal storage operations.
