New Data and Storage Soluton
Summary:
Data management investments can boost productivity, make customer-satisfaction work more valuable and efficient, and institute a single, topside view of the business. The challenge: keeping databases manageable as they grow to petabyteplus sizes while responding to a push for zero-latency business processes as well. It can be accomplished with increasingly sophisticated database design and management tools, as well as ubiquitous
standards and faster interconnections that can move data quickly among a
multitude of legacy systems. Getting the most out of all corporate resources also means finding more fruitful ways to exploit the knowledge contained in the vast amounts of unstructured data (documents, for example) that every organization produces. IT has to boost end users’ ability to access that data— through portals, which serve as a standard interface that may be centrally managed, and new kinds of search capabilities. Of course, all this data must be stored efficiently and safely even as data volumes continue to explode. Storage networking, consolidation and resource management solutions that exploit open standards to ease administrative costs and infrastructure complexity are among the answers many organizations
are exploring. DON’T FORGET ABOUT SECURITY. “Often, a database is secured very well, but an extract or backup copy has very little security,” notes Bob Venable, manager of enterprise systems at Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Tennessee. m “We need to keep up, so we need security that follows data and ways to identify what’s inside a file.”
