It's nearly 2008 - is your data center compliant yet? Don't look now, but Sarbanes-Oxley is coming into full-compliance mode, not to mention HIPAA, which has been adding more storage requirements to companies' storage piles for a few years now. As IT managers face these issues, they must decide between implementing single, per-application archiving architectures or go with a full-out consolidation product that handles it all.

NetApp has prepared a report detailing the reasons why you should consolidate into a comprehensive archiving and compliance application. The report goes over the different regulations and how to reach compliance, as well.
