SIX Petabytes shipped to happy customers each month
– that’s equal to six quadrillion bytes or Six Million Gigabytes in case you were wondering!


So…. Why bother?
1. The long arm of the law extends to data storage
2. Best practices for archiving and protecting business data
3. Disaster Recovery - it's not just a “nice to have”
   
UK organisations now have to ensure all data relating to trades, transactions and all accounting practices throughout the organisation is auditable and stored for five years.

Laws such as the Freedom of Information Act, state that public authorities must comply with requests for the information they hold from the general public, which may pose data accessibility challenges.

Companies must remember, that legislation has not been created to catch them out. Revamping data storage processes does not have to be just a bureaucratic hoop-jumping exercise for companies. An organisation’s compliance-driven IT architecture can also lead to opportunity.

Alongside operational efficiency, such as the systematic archiving of financial data, email and other important records, organisations could also expect to see reduced risk to business continuity as well as a greater trust in their brand as a result of compliance.

To meet the requirements of regulatory compliance, businesses must focus on the collection, secure storage and easy retrieval of business critical data. After learning which electronic data laws affect them, companies must follow best practice processes and build an IT architecture that will support all legislation requirements.
