Data volumes are exploding. It’s estimated that the volume of data housed in large business applications, such as CRM and ERP systems, increases by as much as 50 percent each year. As businesses grow, more transaction volumes are added to applications and data warehouses. IT organizations have to retain data for longer periods to comply with regulations - further increasing data volumes and management costs.

Data growth degrades the performance of your critical business systems making it difficult for IT organizations to meet service-level agreements. Data growth also escalates hardware, database, and packaged application costs, as well as administration and maintenance costs.  IT organizations also need to monitor unauthorized access to sensitive data. All of this plays out at a time when IT is expected to do more with less.
