Database archiving is a strategy to manage enterprise data growth. Experts agree that as much as 80% of the data for core applications such as ERP, CRM and corporate financials is no longer in active use and slows application performance by as much as 50%. In addition, archiving is a approach to reduce costs as production systems are able to utilize infrastructure more efficiently.

In the report Your Enterprise Data Archiving Strategy ($499), Noel Yuhanna, research VP, Forrester Group, describes the business impact of database archiving as follows: "With growing data volume, increasing data security breaches, and complex application-performance issues, most enterprises today face significant data management challenges. Keeping inactive data online not only creates security risk but also increases infrastructure and database cost. Some enterprises are literally throwing away data to minimize complexity and lower these costs. Although there are several better options available to control data growth, data archiving is the best long-term solution to improve application performance and reduce the cost of servers and storage.Data archiving supports many other requirements, including retiring applications, managing test data, improving database manageability, performing data sharing, and ensuring regulatory compliance. Application development professionals and information architects should consider building an enterprise-wide data archiving strategy for large databases and applications."

"Enterprise Data Archiving is the fastest growing area of storage management software.
