In this thought-provoking article, our CTO, Dene Lewis, delves into the fascinating evolution of data storage and explores the innovative solutions being developed to address the potential challenges that modern data storage poses to individuals, organisations, and the environment.

Over the past three decades, the data storage industry has undergone significant transformations. However, the last ten years have witnessed a remarkable and unprecedented leap forward. With the exponential growth of data, especially unstructured data, and the advent of cloud-based storage, companies and individuals have embraced a "store everything" mentality, often neglecting to ponder the true value of the information they accumulate.

Dene highlights the pressing need for organisations dealing with massive volumes of data to carefully consider the location and storage strategy for their valuable information. It is imperative to make well-informed decisions at the outset, rather than finding oneself knee-deep in a project and then scrambling to select the most suitable storage option. As Dene remarks, "Every aspect of stakeholder engagement and interaction now requires ever-increasing data volumes, necessitating multiple storage redundancies to guarantee uninterrupted business operations and robust disaster recovery plans."
