Compliance, Regulatory, Legal Discovery, and Privacy mandates have changed the storage landscape. “Do not retain” became “retain forever,” creating a new challenge for enterprises. With the average hardware lifespan being five to seven years and software lifespan being three to five years, how do businesses maintain access to critical retention information assets once systems and software are past their end-of-life date while data still has 90+ years of mandated retention life left? This mandated retention tsunami is like nothing the world has seen before and its growth is compounding, as new regulations continue to expand to include new information assets.
This is where new container technologies come in. This session will explain how, by leveraging these new container technologies, there is a new portable, survivable, robust future-proof format to safely archive information to meet the long-term retention mandates while obviating the hardware and software issues. It will talk about the need for long-term data curation and the seven data necessities: portability, confidentiality, availability, integrity, nonrepudiation, security, and authentication.
The speaker will cover the ways that DevOps Container technology has delivered a solution to the 100-year + long-term storage challenge that the industry faces in the coming regulatory tsunami. The persistent Portable Storage Formattm (PSFtm) allows the traditional transient container technology to become stable, immutable, portable, and agnostic to hardware and software EOL challenges.
