Why Varonis?
Data Migration and Archiving
Data center managers are challenged to ensure that disk storage is optimally used and, more importantly, that data management costs are kept under control. This is particularly challenging since even by the most conservative analyst estimates, unstructured data grows 50% annually.
Additionally, research shows that up to 30% of this data may be inactive or not accessed in any given 15 day period. This last metric means that data managers waste cycles on controlling access to and making available what is essentially stale data.
Identifying and moving this data to offline storage is key to cost effective storage management.
Varonis facilitates the process of migrating data from file servers and NAS to offline storage by:
- Continuously monitoring and analyzing user access activity on the data
- Identifying data that has not been accessed within a given time window
- Providing a detailed audit of the access controls being enforced for that data
- Identifying the business owners of the data
With Varonis, storage administrators can reduce the costs involved in a data migration by as much as 50%.
