Big Data: Controlling the Risk of Storing Data
Mitigating the Risk of Storing Growing Unstructured Data
In my previous article, I mentioned new ways of addressing the challenges of relentless unstructured data growth. However, finding adequate solutions for storing these growing data volumes is just the first step of the equation. Once data has been appropriately stored, it becomes subject to stringent regulatory and legal mandates. The risks to an organization’s reputation with the inadvertent disclosure of electronically stored information or the commercial risks associated with the loss of data from natural or man-made disasters are too great to leave unaddressed. The bigger the data, the bigger the risk. A new approach to the protection and retention of data is needed – one that delivers control of regulatory, legal and commercial risk.

Big Data: Reducing the Cost of Storing Data
Managing the Costs of Relentless Unstructured Data Growth
While it has become something of a buzz word, big data is addressing one of the most pressing business challenges of modern times, that of unrestrained data growth. From CFOs desperately trying to rein in escalating storage costs, to CIOs struggling to contain regulatory risks associated with growing volumes of unstructured data and CEOs who recognize the need to transform the business to best exploit new data-driven opportunities, big data is at the heart of competitive advantage. At Tarmin, our focus on addressing these challenges is realized through the Three Pillars of GridBank Data Management, storing data, controlling risk and understanding information. This, the first in a series of blog entries on each of the Pillars in the lead up to my workshop at the CIO Event, lays out our vision for how to address the challenge of massive data growth.
