Enterprise Storage
Cloud storage is on everyone’s mind these days, as the promise of lower cost and improved flexibility is desirable. However, there are many reasons to keep your data on-premises. Benefits include having full control over where the data is stored, experiencing improved performance, securing your data behind your firewall, and more.
There are two primary classes of on-premises data storage: object and file. Determining which one is right for you is highly dependent on the kind of data that your organization stores.
