Active archiving of information will become more prominent in businesses as shifts in technology enable more comprehensive and additional content, IDC has predicted.

The main drivers will be compliance with record retention laws, improving the efficiency and accuracy of legal e-discovery and achieving overall IT optimisation gains.

However, companies are more interested in broader information management systems than simple archiving products, the analyst firm claimed in a recent report.

“The initiatives driving active archiving spending are more about information management than about archiving, although archiving may be a technology that is used to achieve policy objectives,” said Laura DuBois, programme director for storage software at IDC. “Projects form around information management, records management and electronic discovery.”
