Data archiving and data retention is one of the most important storage priorities facing IT departments today. This is being driven by the need to retain data to comply with regulatory requirements, mitigate the costs of legal discovery, and satisfy internal corporate best practices. When it comes to archiving data to satisfy regulatory or legal discovery requirements, the employed software and storage have unique characteristics that ensure the integrity, immutability, and authenticity of the data and also ensure that it can be retrieved in a reasonable amount of time to comply with audits or legal discovery filings. This is a key point to digest because it means that you must invest in the appropriate technology for data retention and not attempt to repurpose existing software, infrastructure, and IT processes — in particular, the data backup ecosystem — for data archiving. In addition, there are certain operational and business benefits that you can achieve only through the implementation of a true archiving solution.
