Full Summary:

IT administrators have traditionally considered the tiering of data, data protection, and archiving as independent processes—narrowly focused and specific to a particular application or storage objective.  The reality is that these topics are all related. Buying more primary storage will eventually force the need for more backup storage capacity. The need to add capacity to accommodate application growth will eventually increase the amount of data that needs to be retained for compliance and risk management.

These three processes—tiering, data protection, and archiving—are part of a bigger picture. They all relate to managing data in an enterprise data center environment and effectively utilizing storage systems.  To not understand their interrelationships in that bigger picture can lead to sub-optimal operations and complexity that is difficult to make more efficient as time goes on.

This document examines the relationship of the three processes and HP’s strategy for addressing for Storage Efficiency.
