In recent years, Cloud storage has been championed as the most efficient method of storing vital company data. But does that mean more traditional options have become irrelevant? In fact, no, and one of the oldest – Tape Storage – remains so effective it still has a place on an efficient Data Storage Strategy.

Not every sector has yet complied with GDPR. One of the biggest is the Hospitals Sector, with the Data Protection Commission highlighting 14 matters of concern it has found in hospitals. But while the situation is serious, some key steps are all that is needed to rectify it.

The Cloud has become a key modern business resource, with almost every sector embracing the full benefits it offers.

Surprisingly, when it comes to Disaster Recovery, some are still hesitant to new technology, leaving companies more vulnerable than they realise.

There was a time when the office was the starting point and finishing point in every working day, even for employees whose days were mainly on the road.

Without doubt, this market has undergone some radical changes in recent years, but the next 12 months is set to bring even more. Between the impending implementation of the GDPR to developments in software and Cloud technology, the document and data storage terrain provides many new hurdles.
