Data is a business’s most precious resource. And when businesses tap into that goldmine by harnessing the power of data, their potential for growth is enormous. Those who aren’t yet making the most of the data that runs through their organisations are missing a huge opportunity to streamline processes and connect with customers – and ultimately risk losing their competitive edge. But, if they are to unlock this power, businesses need to think hard about how their data is stored.
The Wize Guys series offers wisdom for our data-driven world, and the storage of that data is a primary consideration. So, what should businesses look for when choosing a data storage solution to suit their needs?
Some must-haves include:
- Low latency. Accessing or moving precious data quickly is essential in our fast-paced world.
- Security. Trust and resiliency are factors that are too important to ignore, especially when you’re storing your business’s most valuable resource.
- Ease of use. Who needs complications?
- Cost efficiency. Every penny needs to be spent wisely, especially for smaller businesses. Getting storage right is worth investing in.
