Even in archival use cases, there is a continuous need to perform integrity verification, search and indexing, cryptographic refresh and format conversion over the lifecycle of the data.<br /><br />I believe that we are seeing the beginning of the end of data storage as a passive process.<br /><br />Having said that, in some business cases, even the passive storage of data in a "cloud" configuration can provide such compelling economics to make it an advantageous model for companies. This bodes well for the increased value as such models mature.David Slikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12631991927286374244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060498081821905291.post-17917185037539896602009-05-27T03:42:23.716-07:002009-05-27T03:42:23.716-07:00I believe that the cloud only really makes sense w...I believe that the cloud only really makes sense when you combine the processing with the storage. I think there is minimal value in "holding" data but you can start to build value by the analysis of the data being held.andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420134178343442114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6060498081821905291.post-55320529721644886272009-02-24T17:40:00.000-08:002009-02-24T17:40:00.000-08:00Thank you — I'm glad you enjoyed the post.

It is important that enterprises understand not only that cloud storage is for real but also that they need to be realistic about what the goals for the solution are as I indicate in my latest blog on Information Week. <BR/><BR/>http://tinyurl.com/bkpqmAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13164195360905114896noreply@blogger.com
