Drowning in Data? Grab a Log
IDC researcher John Gantz began a study on data, estimating that 161 exabytes of digital data - or about 161 billion GB - were generated in 2006 alone. Think about that. According to the USA Today that is
168 million terabytes, or roughly the equivalent of:
36 billion digital movies
43 trillion digital songs
1 million digital copies of every book in the Library of Congress
How much of the data generated inside businesses must be stored? Facing government regulations over the globe, such as the Sarbanes-Oxley Act in the US and the EU Data Retention Directive, more and more organizations are being required to save more information than ever. The impact of the regulations globally is staggering. Just this week analysts predicted the impact of the EU law on Asia could see communications providers and operators in the region to comply.
Searching on all the data is even trickier. Log Mangement and Intelligence effectively deals with the problem of continuously complying to multiple mandates simultaneously and being able to locate the data you need for compliance, forensics and to reap operational efficiencies.
