This study and thought leadership paper compiled by Forrester Consulting on behalf of Clearpace Software, highlights that database archiving needs to advance from simply selecting and moving data into an archive to encompass specialised archive repositories. The optimal archive store must dramatically reduce storage footprints and costs, through advanced compression techniques, while ensuring data integrity, security and availability.
Within the paper, Noel Yuhanna, Principal Analyst at Forrester Research, explores the drivers and requirements of database archiving. In addition, the paper discusses why other data management techniques, including backup and recovery, do not replace the need for database archiving strategies. The paper also outlines the 11 steps to successful database archiving while defining the attributes and components of the ideal database archiving solution.
