Data storage and proper management have gained increasing importance as personal and corporate data breaches accumulate year after year, proving that our systems are not secure enough to deal with this information.
Meticulous handling of online data is an essential but time-consuming practice for companies dependent on computerized data. Thus, the need for new and upgraded techniques of data security, backup, and restoration is required.
Latest Trends in the Market
Evolution in data storage techniques has transformed and enhanced the course of action for backup and recovery.
- Automation in Cloud
Cloud came in as a replacement for physical media storage, with anytime anywhere access to data. Automation in the cloud made it easier to store and backup data, eliminating human errors automatically. - DRaaS
Disaster Recovery as a Service (DRaaS) is a division in cloud computing for data storage and recovery in case of a catastrophe. DRaaS protects data and provides standby computing capacity to provide quick recovery. - IoT
The Internet of Things (IoT) allows various industries to generate, store and transfer data in large quantities. This approach reduces human intrusion by replacing it with computing devices and digital machines. - Big Data and ML
Large volumes of structured and unstructured data generated are termed Big Data. This unprecedented data is crucial for large industries and can spiral out of control. Analysts know that big data can play a vital role in planning strategic business moves once combined with machine learning. Machine Learning with massive computational power allows systematic backup and security with facile restoration.
Predictions for 2022
- Multi-cloud Storage
The idea of storing data across different cloud platforms in the same network architecture is called multi-cloud storage. Distributed workload helps better manage data and reduces the risk of complete data loss due to cybersecurity threats. - Storage Automation
Automation in data storage practices has played a pivotal role in changing backup and security trends. Storage automation reduced human interruption in the workspace, making error-free and secure processes possible. Automation provides additional timely reports with low errors and ensures timely backup without inconsistencies. - In-Memory Computing
The in-memory computing technique replaces conventional data storage in centralized databases and allows storing data on the same network’s RAM in different computing devices. RAM being faster memory allows swift data access as compared to regular databases.
Data Governance and Threats
Data explosion due to the internet has opened the horizon of new possibilities. Data storage and management have various beneficial effects, but the downside has adverse outcomes. Cyber threats like data theft, Denial of Service (DoS), SQL injections, and reckless misuse by the company itself can lead to the exploitation of valuable information.
Thus proper data protection measures are needed to ensure security. Several companies are providing a framework for maintaining data and ensuring security. Veeam Software provides features like immutability in the cloud, backup and Anti-malware framework by Acronis, and data management software solutions by Veritas Technologies are a few examples.
