Companies often face trouble in storing their old data properly. They know that it will not be modified in the coming time, or will not be used often. However even after this, they cannot delete or put it away lightly. This data is utilized for making the progress report of the company, for marketing or even for dealing with legal issues pertaining about the old projects or employees. To deal with this data one has to obtain a smart data storage technique like CAS.

CAS is content addressable storage, in which that data which will never be modified or used for a long time is stored in such way that it is safe from any kind of change. This data is also prevented to be duplicated or copied so that not anyone will use it for something, which may pose threat to the integrity of the organization. Here are some of the benefits of the content addressable storage for a company or an organization:

  • Genuineness of the content: when a company stores their old data in form of files, they do not want it to be altered or changes in any way. The content addressable storage ensures that. It is S3 compatible storage hence you can directly store your content on the designated place allocated by the system to the stored data file. One can access it any time through this designated address, which is unique in nature. if there are a lot data files, one can keep a record of the addresses for the future purpose.
  • Integrity of the data: sometimes there are incidents when the content of a company is changed after it is stored away for future use. It can affect the functioning of other departments as well. Therefore the content addressable storage ensures that once the data is stored, it is not changed or modified in any way. You can use it for future purpose but you cannot change it as per convenience. Before storing data in CAS make sure it does not require any changes or alterations to be done. 
  • Protection of the data: the information stored in CAS is protected from any threat, as it will be stored in the network. One cannot change it, delete it or modify it; hence, it is safe from any unfortunate circumstances. 

It is compatible to the S3 compatible storage and easy to use. Try it to protect your data from unforeseen threats.
