The Emergence of a New Architecture for Long-term Data Retention
- by Claudia Caramelli-Oracle
Dear Partner,
A new research report from Wikibon explains how the combination of flash
and tape makes for a superior solution for long-term data archives
versus using dedupe appliances. The combination of these two
technologies, that have been in the market, one for a few years and the
other for decades, introduces a new concept. The concept is “Flape”, a concept first coined by Wikibon in October of 2012.
Flape is a
combination of Flash (SSD) technology and tape…this combination of
technologies when used for long-term archiving can save IT departments
as much as 300% of their overall IT budget over the course of 10
years. Do you want to know more? You can review the whole report here.
