Why each option
Unstructured data growth directly drives two recurring costs - purchasing additional storage capacity to hold the data and buying backup media to protect it.
Lost productivity from server downtime is a general IT infrastructure cost that is not specifically or uniquely attributable to the presence or growth of unstructured data.
Backup media must be purchased in growing quantities as unstructured data volumes expand, since protecting this data requires proportionally more backup resources.
Unstructured data grows at a high and often unpredictable rate, forcing organizations to continuously buy additional primary storage capacity to accommodate the increasing volume.
Converting unstructured data into structured data is not a standard or recognized cost that most businesses incur as part of routine unstructured data management.
