Iron Cloud Secure Offline Storage (SOS) provides cold storage for long-term data retention and enables organizations to modernize their data management to meet retention requirements and retire legacy infrastructure.
In this era of digital transformation, data is growing at an extremely rapidrate. This data is often used for real-time decision making, but regulatoryand compliance mandates also require much of it to be retained, sometimesfor years, even decades. These greater demands for retention, along withheightened risks of cyberattacks, are creating a pressing need for secure,long-term offline storage. This need must be met while simultaneouslybalancing storage costs, access requirements and data retention policies.
