File System Expansion
Unstructured data that generally lives in network file systems is the fastest growing type of corporate data, expanding at the rate of 50% to 100% per year and sometimes more. Buying capacity for and managing this data is an ongoing challenge for IT storage professionals.
One approach is to constrict the growth of information by establishing quotas or limits. This forces knowledge workers to manage information themselves, reducing their efficiency and setting up the opportunity for deleting data that would be useful in the future.
Purchasing additional capacity on existing file servers or purchasing additional on-premise storage systems will provide necessary capacity but may require unavailable capital; will increase facilities costs for space, power and cooling; and will be an additional IT management burden.
