Secondary storage typically archives inactive cold data and backs up primary storage through data replication or other data backup methods. This replication or data backup process, ensures there is a second copy of the data. In an enterprise environment, the storage of secondary data can be in the form of a network-attached storage (NAS) box, storage-area network (SAN), or tape. In addition, to lessen the demand on primary storage, object storage devices may also be used for secondary storage. The growth of organizational data has prompted storage managers to move data to lower tiers of storage to reduce the impact on primary storage systems. Furthermore, in moving data from more expensive primary storage to less expensive tiers of storage, storage managers are able to save money. This keeps the data easily accessible in order to satisfy both business and compliance requirements.
