Why combine disk and tape for data protection and archive?
The Best of Disk and Tape No single disk or tape solution can provide best practice data protection Disk and tape have different yet complementary roles to play Best Practice = comprehensive, tiered and converged data protection architecture that balances cost and performance. 4
When to use Disk and Tape Disk is ideal for Tape is ideal for Storing a secondary copy of data Storing both primary and secondary copies Delivering rapid recovery from loss Streaming backup of rich media Ability to improve system availability Long-term storage: months - years - years Short-term storage: weeks months Retrieval of large files, and retrieval for compliance and monetization 5 But is not so good for Compliance based storage Fast file access But is not so good for Remote Office / Branch Office Solutions Environments requiring set and forget data protection
Multi-tier Strategies for Protecting and Retaining Data Disk Disk with Data Deduplication Tape in Library Tape in Vault Short Term Least Efficient Frequent Retention Requirements Power, Cooling and Space Requirements Access Requirements Long Term Most Efficient Seldom 6
