How storage tiering works

At Fortuna Data we provide the four key types of data storage, these are Flash / Disk / Tape and Optical. No matter how small or large your requirement we will provide a complete, seamless storage solution.

Understanding the issues
Today, data is being created faster than ever and businesses need to manage data more efficiently. Businesses try and alleviate these problems with solutions that solve a particular problem i.e. capacity, speed, reliability. Traditionally this has been a boxed solution from a vendor that provides the desired features and functionality required to solve the problem. When a new application or requirement arises the choice is to add additional features or buy a new solution from scratch. Over time businesses acquire disparate systems which each solve a problem, but also cause data sprawl and increased complexity.
By 2020 we will require 10x the storage purchased in 2013, most of this data is unstructured and it will be created by phones, the Internet of Things, tablets, cars and numerous other digital devices and sensors which provide new applications and functionality.
We provide Data Management solutions that combine hardware and software to deliver the infrastructures businesses are striving to achieve. Read our article on our Data Storage site about Cloud Archiving.
The need for speed
The 24-hour world we live in today requires instantaneous access for downloading movies, playing games, transacting payments, producing video effects or simply staying in touch via social networking. These requirements put more emphasis on delivering data at breakneck speeds and the drive to provide greater performance and speed is forever increasing. Businesses are constantly juggling budgets in order to procure more storage to save data, trying to determine the requirement i.e. 15k/10k or 7.2k drives, what size, flash storage or hybrid storage, where to store data and how long will it last before we need more storage are all questions being asked. It now seems the answer isn’t always as simple as many have thought previously.
