How to determine what option is best?

To exactly determine what option suits your needs best, we need to plan a personal meeting. In that personal meeting we can compose a mix of storage platforms that best suits your situation. When determining the best storage solution for you, we need to answer these questions:

  • How much risk of losing data are you willing to take?
  • Do you need to work with the data on a daily basis?
  • How many years does the data needs to be available?
