Best Practices, Optimized Interfaces, API’s designed for Storing Massive Quantities of Long Term Retention Data

The growth, access requirements and retention needs for data in a mass storage infrastructure for HPC, life sciences, media and entertainment, higher education and research are becoming unmanageable. Organizations continue to utilize legacy methodologies to manage Big Data Growth of today and it is not working. Traditional storage tiering and backups do not solve the problem and create additional cost and overhead. Redefining the term “Archive” as an online, accessible, affordable data management platform decoupled from infrastructure will be required to solve data growth and retention challenges going forward. Leveraging new optimized interfaces and API’s for disk, tape, and cloud will be required to fully enable the Active Archive experience.
