Challenges

As the organisation amassed more data and its aging storage neared the end of its service life, performance bottlenecks impacted the IT team’s productivity. Even simple tasks, such as annual batch reporting on members’ pension data, took days to complete. Backing up to tape was complex and it could take days to find and restore the right data from tapes. Operational continuity was at risk due to growing data security threats.
