Summary
Although database management system (DBMS) technology continues to advance, huge databases driven by enormous data volume growth are bringing major challenges in manageability, performance, availability, and security. Terabyte-size transactional databases are harder to manage, increase costs for hardware capacity and database licenses, and drive up requirements for database administrators (DBAs). Yet 85% of production data is inactive, so information and knowledge management professionals should devise a database archiving strategy that moves inactive data to lower-cost storage and servers, thus improving the manageability, performance, and security of critical production applications. The next challenge: As information-as-a-service (IaaS) adoption grows, enterprises will need archival strategies that accommodate integration of structured, unstructured, and semistructured data across active and inactive data repositories.
