sekundärförvaringslösning

A sekundärförvaringslösning, often translated as secondary storage solution, refers to a system or method used for storing data that is not actively being used but needs to be preserved for future reference or compliance. Unlike primary storage, which is designed for rapid access to frequently used data, secondary storage prioritizes cost-effectiveness and long-term retention.

Common types of secondary storage include hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs) used in less frequently accessed configurations, magnetic tape, optical media like Blu-ray discs, and cloud-based storage services configured for archival purposes. The selection of a specific sekundärförvaringslösning depends on factors such as data volume, access frequency requirements, budget constraints, and regulatory mandates.

The primary purpose of secondary storage is to offload data from expensive primary storage, thereby reducing operational costs and improving the performance of systems handling active data. It plays a crucial role in data backup, disaster recovery strategies, and regulatory compliance, where data must be retained for extended periods. Accessing data from secondary storage is typically slower than from primary storage, reflecting its design for archiving rather than immediate use.
