Growing unstructured data volumes means higher storage and management costs. Ongoing server maintenance, increasing cloud storage fees, and the additional software required to protect the data are straining IT budgets. Yet over 33 percent of an organization’s data is estimated to be redundant, obsolete, or trivial. Identify your stale and unnecessary data based on key attributes including:
- Created Date
- Last Modified Date
- Last Accessed Date
- File Type
- Document Type Category
- Location
- Permissions & Collaboration
With these insights, you can reduce your storage costs by automatically migrating cold-tier data to archival and object repositories (such as Azure Blob Storage or Amazon S3) or eliminating unnecessary files altogether.
