File storage growth—the challenge
Global digital information doubles every 18 months—
so if you currently manage 100 TB of data, it’ll 
be 200 TB in 18 months time, and that is just the 
average . File storage growth drives most of that 
increase . Managing storage growth is a difficult task 
on the whole, but the distributed nature of unstructured 
file-based data adds to the challenge significantly, and 
drives the need for improved file serving solutions .
Rapid file storage growth, driven by rich media like 
audio, video, graphics, backup files, and email is 
impacting businesses more now than ever before . You 
not only require immediate access to exploding volumes 
of data, but government regulations and corporate 
governance are dictating what must be kept, for how 
long, and the speed with which it must be accessed . 
Therefore, it is critical that you invest in a cost-effective, 
modular, file-serving solution that can support your 
business now and well into the future . Consolidating 
file data with a dedicated Network Attached Storage 
(NAS) solution can help you address your changing 
file serving needs and reduce your cost of ownership 
by enabling simplified management, better resource 
utilization, centralized growth, and data protection .
