Big groups seek large servers to store data
Large Vietnamese companies in the near future will require an even higher capability of storing large amounts of data, according to a spokesman for EMC, a US-based information technology infrastructure company.
EMC’s systems architect for South Asia, Sal Fernando, was in Vietnam recently to introduce the company’s entry-level CLARiiON AX4 and mid-tier CLARiiON CX4 servers.
Sal said that between 2006 and 2008, global data had increased 10-fold and 95 percent of that data had been unstructured data.
Based on estimates of the devices that generate data, such as email and personal mp3 players, considerable growth in Vietnamese data would require more computer security and protection, higher levels of global compliance and long term preservation, Sal said.
Dealing with this digital explosion was not a problem solely for the IT department, Sal said, adding that all business units of a company should collaborate on data policies and governance.
Such policies should regard data security as paramount, as well as the ability to preserve data and access it from within the organisation, he said.
Companies should also strive to meet the standards required of international organisations and companies, he added.
