Businesses are also subject to a new wave of regulatory compliance legislation that directly affects the process of storing, managing and archiving data. This is especially true for the financial services and healthcare industries, which handle highly sensitive information and bear extra responsibility for maintaining data integrity and privacy.

Although the need for storage is evident, it is not always clear which solution is right for your business or organization. There are a variety of choices available, the most common being direct attached storage (DAS), network attached storage (NAS) and storage area networks (SAN). There is no one right answer for everyone. Instead, it is important to focus on the specific needs and long term business goals of your organization.

While one type of storage media is usually sufficient for smaller companies, medium and large enterprises will often have a mixed storage environment, implementing different mediums for specific departments, workgroups and remote offices.
