Description:
Systems come and systems go — but the data they leave behind often lingers. Some organizations face regulatory requirements to keep old data accessible, while others simply want historical reference material. But what should you *do* with all that aging information?
This talk surveys a wide range of data archival strategies, exploring both high‑level approaches and practical considerations without tying recommendations to specific tools. Attendees will learn how to think about long‑term retention, accessibility, compliance, and the tradeoffs between different archival models.
Whether your “data graveyard” is a few old servers or a sprawling legacy estate, this session will help you turn it into a well‑tended, intentional data garden.
Target Audience:
- Anyone who deals with data
