According to IDG, worldwide data creation is projected to grow to an astonishing 163 zettabytes by 2025. Much of this data continues to reside on tape, with 67% of organizations leveraging tape for long-term data retention. However, manual and time intensive processes required to manage tape creates challenges to efficiently manage and track tape inventory.
There are two ways to monitor and track the inventory of your backup tape library — manually or automatically. Legacy spreadsheet-based logs and scheduling media pickups by phone offer you little benefit to maximize your staff’s time. These tools also risk introducing human error into your backup records. Regulatory mandates and audit pressures demand that your offsite tape library actually contain what you claim it does. Additionally, business transformation and innovation initiatives require quick, on-demand access to analyze and monetize data. Also consider that your media library, which may contain thousands or even tens of thousands of tapes, has dynamic properties. It is constantly undergoing tape rotations, media destruction activities, litigation holds and requests, disaster recovery tests or tape library moves. So when you desperately need your tape library inventory to be easily accessible and accurate, how do you keep your backup tape library in order?
Stop worrying about the visibility and auditability of your backup tape inventory and free up costly staff time by making Iron Mountain SecureSync portal a part of your backup operations and disaster recovery programs.
