We continue listing the best practice from storage engineering.
5) Seal your data – Append only format of writing data is preferred for forms of data such as events where events appear in a continuous stream. When we seal the data, we make all activities progressive on the timeline without loss of fidelity over time. If there are failures, seal the data. When data does not change, we can perform calculations that help us repair and recover.
6) Versions and policy – As with most libraries, append only data facilitates versioning and versions can be managed with policies. Data may be static but policies can be dynamic. When the storage is viewed as a library, users go back in time and track revisions.
7) Reduplication - As data ages, there is very little need to access it regularly. It can be packed and saved in a format that reduces spaces. When the data is no longer used by an application or a user, it can be viewed as segments that are delineations which facilitate study of redundancy in data. Then redundant segments may simply be avoided from storing which allows a more manageable form of accumulated raw data.
8) Encryption – Encryption is probably the only technique to truly protect a data when there can be unwanted or undesirable access. The scope of encryption may be limited to sensitive data if the raw data can be tolerated as not encrypted.
