Solving Unprecedented Challenges For Over a Decade
Across the world, the digital content explosion is presenting organizations with unprecedented scaling challenges. The rapid growth of online, nearline and backup data pools has pushed general purpose storage systems beyond their capabilities and has forced a rethink across the data storage industry. According to industry analysts, 85% of all data being created today is unstructured data, a different type of data than traditional storage technology was designed to address.
