August 1, 2004 – Looking after store in the new age by John Costello - Voice & Data Managing the data we store in IT systems is becoming as complex as the data itself. Adding to the problem is the increasing tendency for most organisations to hold on to all the data that comes into their possession. There is also a trend for legislatures worldwide to mandate organisations to retain more data - down to email messages and digital recordings of phone calls to and from the organisation. John Costello cuts through the complexity and illustrates what is happening in data storage systems. José Goldmann is principal of SLI-Consulting, an independent consultancy specialising in data storage. "Gartner Group reports that more than 80 per cent of corporate data is never accessed again after being stored for more than seven days," he says. "Placing this data on a corporate storage platform is not only inefficient it is very costly. Organisations need to match their storage needs with their business needs for maximum efficiency in data storage." More
