Storage vs. Access
GRM recently completed the offsite relocation of extensive archives for a leading Manhattan-based nonprofit organization that had been an important part of the culture and community of New York City for well over 100 years.

Data? What data?
We often speak of the massive volume of data that exists and is being created each and every moment of the day. However, if you narrowed it on just a portion of that data, you would find there is a large variety of data out there.

Facing the Challenge of Big Data
Big data has become those scary words few organizations want to hear, let alone discuss. However, many information professionals would like the opportunity to take on this challenge. The negotiation between the top and middle management seems to hold much progress at a standstill. Most CIOs have trouble working with big data themselves and they have little, or nothing, to offer to business users. CMSWire brought this situation to our attention in their article, “Cloudera Unveils Big Data Search, No Special Training Required.”
