Information Powers the Organization
Information is an increasingly valuable – and costly – organizational asset
Goals: minimize risk, reduce costs, and increase flexibility...
By aligning IT investments according to evolving information value UnstructuredUnstructured
“With growth rates exceeding 125%, organizations face two basic options: continue to grow the infrastructure or develop processes to separate dormant data from active data.”

As Transaction Data Accrues…
Longer batch cyclesResources and maintenance increases
Increased storage and processing costsBatch window crosses into prime time
Multiplicity of data:– Multiple operational, development and testing environments– Disaster recovery and business continuity– Routine backup and recovery

Data Retention Example
SEC Rule 17a-4– Retain records for six years from close of account
or termination of associated employees– Keep records in an "easily accessible place" – Produce records immediately if the records are
located in the office where the request is made – Produce records within three business days if the
requested records are located off-site– Display requested records electronically in a local
office and immediately produce printed copies to satisfy Rule requirements

Database Growth: Can’t Ignore It

Alternatives
Add more capacity – Bottom line impact– Uncontrolled cost spiral
Institute rigorous database tuning– Does not directly address data growth– Reaches point of diminishing returns
Delete/ purge data – Legal and data retention issues– Data may be needed for data warehousing
“Deploying a successful database archiving strategy is critical to ensure database availability.”
“Organizations should incorporate data archival policies within current design or implementation plans to maintain future performance and reduce related costs.”
