One of the newest trends in archiving is a growing consideration for where your systems come from. Increasingly, we’re seeing a desire for local backups and archives sourced from within a given region, and with the possibility of being locally housed on region-locked clouds or on-premises centers as well.
The European Union is an obvious example. With the European Alternatives site and other similar projects, there is an obvious bloc-wide push to begin finding alternate options to the more commonly used global systems. Though archives have not yet been mentioned, this is coming after a half decade of increasing regulation including rulings to keep European data wholly housed on European soil (a regulation that has cost some software giants millions of dollars in fines already).
It is by no means an European phenomenon, though. We’re beginning to see a growing regionalization in systems across the board. In some cases, this is going to present increasing challenges. In others, though, it promises to shake up the board and suddenly provide relatively smaller players major competitive advantage in challenging the current industry giants.
Combined with other major shakeups like the rapid growth of data centers to feed a ballooning obsession with AI, and the data management, archive and backup world is undergoing a transition more dynamic than anything we’ve seen in the last few years, to join the already ongoing disruption caused by the Cloud transition.
System developers and providers now have to sink or swim, adapting to the new conditions and making the best of a new archiving environment.
