Data on NAS systems is often mirrored (replicated) to another NAS system, and backups or snapshots of the footprint are kept on the NAS for weeks or months. This leads to at least three or more copies of the data being kept on expensive NAS storage. NAS storage does not need to be used for disaster recovery and backup copies as this can be very costly. By finding and archiving cold data from NAS, you can eliminate the extra copies of cold data and cut cold data costs by over 70%. Check out our video on NAS storage savings to get a more detailed explanation of how this concept works in practice.
