To continue along the data storage, integrity, and recovery aspects of the prior post, according to the ISSJ News Desk, Network Appliance sees an opportunity in consolidating and expanding the scope for unified data management. Key points from the article:


With growing threats of identity theft and information security
breaches, enterprises are taking to a unified storage management
approach with emphasis on data security by encrypting and addressing
retrieval aspects, according to Network Appliances ...



... irrespective of where the data is hosted and the form it is in, the
Chief Information Officer must be able to provide access to
information, as if it were a single centre.
...
Independent research studies reveal that when information resides as
islands in an enterprise, it makes managing such information an
extremely tough and costly proposition. It is here that uniform storage
solutions help both by creating an ideal disaster recovery facility and
also making it convenient to manage and retrieve data ...

Although I'm no expert in this area, it seems to me that a key question would be, do the benefits of increased security through encryption and reduction in costs through consolidation outweigh the risks in the case of security breach of increased damage as a result of consolidation (the perpetrator now has a single point to access everything, right)?
