SNEAKERNET  SAN and NAS  Beyond
Sneakernet
Files created at one desk
Stored on a Firewire Drive (or similar)
Carry or ship to next desk
Nice and slow – plenty of time…

8. Content Protection and Recovery
Some key questions:
How valuable is the stored content?
How painful would it be to re-create (e.g. re-ingest) content?
How to hit deadlines after loosing content?
Standard IT Backup/Recovery solutions
Widely used in standard IT environments
Essentially create copies again and again
All content remains on primary storage
Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) solutions
Widely used in data-intensive environments
Retains data on the most economic storage tier
Often includes data protection functionality
Allows to store “infinite” amounts of data
Also known as ILM, Digital Archive, etc. – we call it Intelligent Archiving
