Enterprises routinely maintain Petabytes of content in expensive on-premise storage. Consider the data flowing into your file systems, content management systems, databases and various business applications. Terabytes of data are added to enterprise servers daily, with on-premise data storage costing up to hundreds of dollars per terabyte per month. Managing this extraordinary growth and exponential increases in storage costs is a major challenge.
While basic storage solutions can count the bytes and even de-duplicate data, they can’t compute the business value of content or the risk of losing data. For CIOs, IT leaders, and content owners, knowing how much of that data you need and how much of it is low-value, outdated, or duplicate is essential. Having the answers allows you to confidently remove, archive, or move data to lower-cost cloud storage.
