Developing Return on Investment and Business Case Support for ArchiveIQ

Many companies have recognized the efficiencies that disk media can bring into the existing data backup and archiving process. Unfortunately there have been two major obstacles that force companies to continue spending money on inefficient tape systems. The first is the $/GB cost of disk based media. Even the cheapest disk media is still ten to twenty times more expensive when compared to tape media. The second obstacle is the ability to create cost-effective offsite copies of data to protect the company from unexpected data loss events. Data Storage Group (DSG) has developed an innovative software solution, called ArchiveIQ, which has changed the data backup and archiving landscape forever.
