Veeam launches Vault Archive as unstructured data growth collides with a supply-constrained hard drive market.
Data is not slowing down and neither is what it costs to keep it. Unstructured data keeps multiplying, AI is driving up both the volume organizations create and the pressure to retain it, and a supply-constrained hard drive market is pushing storage costs up and lead times out.
