This article discusses trends regarding storage of data by corporations. The article states, "Two-fifths of companies in Europe are increasing the risk of security breaches and data loss by still relying on tape to backup their data, a survey by EMC suggests.
The EMC European Disaster Recovery Survey 2011, which covered 1,750 companies across Europe, found that businesses are spending, on average, 10% of their information technology (IT) budgets on backup and recovery." A link to the referenced EMC Survey is provided in the article.
The article further states, "But 40% of companies still rely on tape when storing a copy of a backup off-site for disaster recovery, with an average annual cost of €74,000 spent on transporting, storing, testing and replacing tapes." In addition, the article mentions that 80% of the companies using tape, want to move beyond it, to replace it with other technologies.
Firms and public-sector companies can drastically cut expenditures and become slimmer by getting rid of record which is complicated and susceptible to protection breaches.
