Businesses have been advised to look to clustered storage as a new form of data backup, it has been claimed.
Business Review Online has reported that clustered storage systems allow companies to structure their data in a more efficient manner.
Therefore, the system allows easier access to this information, provides lower
data management costs and reduces the likelihood of data become corrupted.
In addition, the website noted that faster throughput rates can be achieved as data is automatically stored and its position recorded, enabling the recovery of lost information to be achieved more quickly.
Meanwhile, George Crump recently wrote in his blog for Information Week that green
data storage practices require the efficient management of data to ensure information which is most commonly accessed is stored close together on disk drives.
He noted that by keeping systems in order drives will have less work to do to access this information.
