Who Needs Data Storage Systems?

Every Industry benefits from data storage systems

Imagine for a moment, arriving to work in the morning, sitting down at your desk with a cup of coffee ready to start the day and suddenly the fire alarm sounds. But this is no drill, the building is on fire and you and your co-workers luckily make it safely outside with no one being harmed. But inside the building is where all of the copies of backed up data for your company are stored. Now imagine that you are the boss and you have to deal with the devastating aftermath of the loss of your company’s data.

If you work for is a banking institution or a healthcare company, two industries heavily regulated by the government and required to abide by strict reporting and archiving rules, the above scenario could mean the end of your business. And if you think something like that can’t happen, to you, think again. This very scenario occurred back in 1996 at a major bank headquartered in Paris. System administrators actually went back into the building engulfed in flames to try to rescue their records.
