The Active Archive Alliance today announced the availability of a new report: "Saved by the Data: Active Archive
Leads the Way in a Mid-Pandemic World," which highlights the ways active archiving facilitates
data management and helps organizations save money, efficiently access data
wherever it resides, and build stronger security. The Alliance also announced
its free virtual conference, which will be held on Thursday, May 13,
2021, from 9:00 to 11:00 a.m. MT. Any IT professional, data storage manager,
technology or channel partner or value-added reseller is encouraged to register here for the event.
"The pandemic
brought many changes and challenges to operations worldwide, and in 2021,
organizations are focused on how best to use data to thrive in a changed world
and amidst market uncertainty," said Betsy Doughty, vice president of corporate
marketing, Spectra Logic, and co-chairperson of the Active Archive Alliance.
"Our 2021 report and upcoming virtual conference will highlight active
archiving for a changing business world and evolving use cases, including AI
analytics, cybersecurity, healthcare and active archiving in the cloud."
Active archives leverage
an intelligent data management layer that enables online access to data
throughout its lifecycle and is compatible with flash, disk, tape, optical, or
cloud (public or private), file, block or object storage systems. Active
archive solutions support a wide variety of vertical markets and applications,
including media and entertainment, healthcare, telecommunications, utilities,
financial, security, life sciences, compliance, the IoT, AI and ML, and
surveillance.
Executives of the 17
organizations that comprise the Active Archive Alliance will lead a number of
panels, sharing their expertise and best practices. Panel topics will include:
- Why Active Archive?
Understand
what an active archive is, how it is different than backup, and the major data
management benefits your organization can realize with an active archive.
- Understanding Your Data Requirements and Workflow. The first
step is understanding what data and applications you have and determining your
access, growth, and compliance requirements. This helps you plan the workflow
at launch and into the future.
- How to Implement an Active Archive. Once you know your data and requirements, selecting the
right software and hardware components is key to building out your active
archive. This panel will review the considerations and how to optimize for your
business needs.
The Active Archive Alliance's virtual conference
provides IT professionals, data managers, partners and industry experts an
opportunity to interact, engage and learn more about how to take advantage of
the significant benefits offered by active archives.
