Just as you reach into your pocket and discover more change than you expected, so it is that information managers are finding terabytes of audio and visual assets and complex research data sets where there used to be mere gigabytes. Like loose change, it’s nice to have extra, but it’s sometimes hard to know where to keep it. As institutional demands for management and storage increase, finding the right place at the right price to store burgeoning data just got more economical with lower DuraCloud prices.</span></p>
