Would you agree that the bulk of data in an organization is inactive?
Hans De Leenheer
there's no disagreeing on that note :)

Definitely, I think the average is ~80% is inactive in most organizations. Making archive and long-term, cost effective retention critical.

As much as 80% of an organization's data is not accessed after the first 30 days of being created. Tape is the most economical way to store cold data.

-> Will that change over time as:
1) more data is created &
2) keeping it active costs go down &
3) organizations desire to implement "big data" strategies to use data it in new creative ways

and the most expensive one to retrieve from

Clipper Group study showed disk-only long-term storage costs 26x more than tape. http://www.oracle.co...

@JeffFrick good point Jeff! we need to learn not to keep every single bit forever in a dozen copies
Bert Latamore
@HansDeLeenheer There are also legal reasons for eliminating some data at the end of retention periods dictated by regulations.
Hans De Leenheer
oh, I know. I've seen some multi clearance level types of data that couldn't be touched by retention systems at all
Dave Vellante
I'd say well over 2/3rds of data is inactive. Well over.

New high-capacity, high-performance tape drives, such as Oracle's T10KD, make the retrieval process fast and cost-effective.
