    Data is vital to any infrastructure. But not only should data be managed, it should be stored properly. After ten years, will the data still be intact? Companies should have their own plan for backing up data and upgrading hardware to store data in decades to come.

    Right! Storage and hardware upgrades should be part of data management. :)
