Data growth, system consolidation and retention requirements continually drive down your ability to meet your recovery objectives. File based Information Life Cycle Management gives you back the edge in that battle.

How it works

Information Lifecycle Management for File based solutions allow organisations to move Windows, Solaris, and Netware based files to less expensive secondary storage while letting users transparently view migrated data through Windows Explorer, or Solaris.

Benefits of File archival Based ILM

By shrinking the size or arresting the growth of file systems, organisations can reduce their backup windows, reduce primary disk storage, improve File system performance, and simplify IT administration all reducing total Cost of Ownership. This provides organisations an automated way of controlling users storage on the network and corporate storage resources. By doing this, administrators can be assured that all data is centralised and properly protected and catalogued, or purged when the retention period is met.

Example of Windows based File grooming to control volume size and capacity with long term retention.
