It's widely known that there are numerous data storage technologies, each employing different methods with varying advantages. So, what are the benefits of using blue-ray storage?
1. Capacity Expansion: As users' demand for the importance, longevity, and quality of data continues to rise, it has also led to an increasing need for storage.
2. Flexible. Users can configure according to their actual environment. When there is a large volume of existing data that is accessed infrequently, the "Cold Data Storage" configuration can be used, which can be tailored to actual needs. When the data volume is not large and the growth rate of the data volume is predictable, the "Basic Unit Storage" configuration can be utilized to accommodate predictable data volume storage, thereby saving more physical storage space. Additionally, the "Cold Data Expansion Unit" can be added to expand capacity.
3. Enhanced Security: Due to the overlapping mechanism protection implemented in both structure and technology, the reliability of data within the data center will be significantly increased, which is also one of the reasons why it has garnered attention from industry professionals.
Generally, data can be categorized into hot, cold, and warm data. Hot data refers to frequently accessed information, while cold data is less frequently accessed. Warm data falls in between the two.
Currently, 80% of the stored data is cold data, so it's evident that the future demand for cold data storage will be significant.
Compared to magnetic-electric storage, blue-ray storage boasts higher security, reliability, and environmental friendliness, along with a longer lifespan and lower unit cost, making it more cost-effective. The gradual replacement trend is inevitable.
