The computer storage pendulum has swung from people asking, “What would I do with all that storage?” about a decade ago to people now using personal storage media in amounts once only possible for the largest organizations in the world. As you are probably well aware, the average smartphone today has as much storage in it as a PC did in 1997. Data has proliferated in type, size, and audience over the last few years. This data proliferation over the last decade has jokingly been referred to as “datageddon.” Data storage and data management have become a real challenge for organizations worldwide, as they struggle to keep up with webcam, voice, e-mail, transaction, and other data feeds that they are required to retain as part of their business’s intellectual property or work product.
