• Data archiving is the process of moving data that is no longer actively
used to a separate storage device for long-term retention. Archive
data consists of older data that remains important to the organization
or must be retained for future reference or regulatory compliance
reasons.

• The greatest benefit of archiving data is that it reduces the cost of
primary storage. Utilizing such data archiving tools one, can at any
point access the archived data on-demand, thus saving space without
limiting the potential of your business.
There are many reasons why one should think about archiving one’s data accurately. A few of them are below –

Understanding Archiving:
Over time, Data accumulation can ultimately result in data overloading and eventually there will be more data
being stored inside the application than what it can accommodate.

Improved Efficiency of Data Management:

Data overloading leads to much time consuming searching and assessing of data. Archiving seldom-used
information will always speed up the application performance and as well protect the data for future use.

Protect from Accidental Deletion:

Data archiving or management is a process that eliminates the potential of human error. It might happen that a
record gets accidentally removed by employees. Whereas, Archiving allows very granular access to data,
offering end users access without IT help-desk intervention.

Improved efficiency without compliances:

Whenever, you archive your data, one thing that strikes is the compliance issue. However, your archiving
application, will always help you store the data in a separate server or even at times within your company
network, with increased security and less storage cost.
