Challenges<\/h3>\n
\n\nAn archive system naturally has a growing volume of data, which requires the continuous provision of sufficient storage capacity. It may be necessary to carry out regular physical expansions to ensure uninterrupted functionality.<\/p>\n
In order to guarantee the security and functionality of the on-premise storage ONTAP system, it is crucial to carry out regular software updates. These updates ensure that both the security standards and the latest functions are always up to date.<\/p>\n
On-premise, users are responsible for backing up the NetApp storage system to another medium, such as backup tapes. This responsibility can be an additional burden.<\/p>\n
In addition, SnapLock On-Premise only supports hot storage and no cold storage. This can lead to increased costs.<\/p>\n
Another challenge is the limited lifespan of the on-premise storage system. Hardware defects, the discontinuation of maintenance by the manufacturer and the scarcity of spare parts mean that regular hardware refreshes every few years are unavoidable.<\/p>\n
Migrating to the AWS cloud offers an efficient and reliable solution that addresses these challenges.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
