problems which are associated with the storage and access of data
Data storage is one of the key activities that is carried out by many organizations (Bao, Chen & Obaidat, 2018). The process of storing and accessing data can be easy or challenging. There are some problems which are associated with the storage and access of data. The first problem concerns the security of the data. Some data may be confidential and sensitive, and a small leakage can lead to major challenges. In this case, corporations need to ensure that their data is secure and confidential. Maintaining data security is challenging, and it requires an organization to be ready by employing all tactics available. The second problems concern the cost of running a data center.
Many large corporations prefer having their data centers to acquiring storage services from other organizations. So, if the corporation wants to have a data center, it will need to save the money required for initial setup and maintenance. The next problem concerns data infrastructure. Large volumes of data need infrastructure to be stored appropriately. The ease of access may be another problem, especially where the data is big. It is easy to access small data as compared to big data. The same aspect applies when it comes to data analysis. For the large corporation to make the data easily accessible, then it will need to acquire specialized software, which may be a problem.
Among these problems, the most important one is data security. There are many cyber threats which target large corporation (Valuch, Gábriš & Hamuľák, 2017). The attackers target these corporations since they are aware that there is useful information that can help them in their attacks. An organization should be ready to deal with these cyber threats. An organization should employ a cybersecurity specialist who will deal with the problem. Most important, corporations should closely monitor their data.
