EXTENSIBLE STORAGE MANAGEMENT AND DATA AVAILABILITY TECHNIQUES

Abstract: Storage management is a critical component of modern information technology, encompassing a wide range of techniques and strategies to efficiently store, organize and retrieve data. With the high growth of digital information in recent years, effective storage management has become paramount for businesses and individuals. Effective storage management improves data availability by ensuring the data is properly structured, stored, and accessible, even during periods of high load or during system maintenance. Extensible storage management and data availability techniques encompass a broad range of strategies and technologies designed to manage data storage systems dynamically and ensure data is available whenever needed. In this work, we looked at the techniques, current trends and applications of storage management, benefits and challenges of storage management. We also highlighted the components and challenges of data availability, best practices and tools to ensure data availability and the impact of data availability on business operations.
