What is a primary reason for using External PSM Storage?

The primary reason for using External PSM Storage is scalability and performance. External PSM (Privileged Session Manager) Storage enables organizations to manage and store session recordings and configurations outside of the CyberArk infrastructure. This externalization allows for easier management of large volumes of data that can grow as the organization scales up.

Using external storage improves performance because it alleviates the load on the primary CyberArk systems, ensuring that they can operate efficiently without being bogged down by high data storage and retrieval demands. This is particularly important in environments with high transaction rates or where numerous sessions are recorded and must be accessed quickly. Additionally, external storage options can be tailored to offer specific performance characteristics, aligning with the organization's scalability needs and allowing for tailored solutions that can efficiently handle the increasing workloads.
