1. Allocation of Space: Efficiently distributing storage space among users and applications to optimize the use of available resources.
2. Data Security: Implementing measures such as encryption and access control to protect data from unauthorized access or breaches.
3. Data Backup and Recovery: Creating and managing copies of data to recover from data loss or corruption events.
4. Data Redundancy: Implementing systems such as RAID (Redundant Array of Independent Disks) to prevent data loss in case of hardware failure.
5. Performance Monitoring: Monitoring the performance of storage systems to ensure they meet the required speed and efficiency.
6. Data Archiving: Moving older data to less expensive storage for long-term retention, while ensuring that it remains accessible if needed.
7. Scalability Planning: Planning for future storage needs and scaling resources accordingly to accommodate data growth.
8. Disaster Recovery Planning: Ensuring that data can be fully recovered in the event of a disaster, through off-site backups, cloud storage, or other means.
9. Cost Management: Identifying and implementing cost-effective storage solutions that meet organizational needs without unnecessary expenditures.
