Data is typically replicated as backups for use if there is a system failure or disaster. Enterprise storage typically consists of SSD and hard disk drives used in SAN, NAS and DAS environments. Enterprise storage is typically higher quality media that is more reliable, fault tolerant and scalable compared to standard storage.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.idc.com\/getdoc.jsp?containerId=prUS41937916\">IDC found that<\/a> total capacity of shipments increased by 33 percent to 44.3 exabytes in the third quarter 2016.
