Lifecycle management of unstructured data enables policies to be aligned with business value. This ensures that data is stored, archived, retained and deleted at the appropriate time. Automated Polices result in labor and cost efficiencies while also reducing risk exposure.

Legacy set and forget approaches like writing everything to a NAS and forgetting about it are getting crushed due to the high growth rates of unstructured data translating into higher operating and backup costs. Lifecycle management software keeps active data on higher performance disk and retains it on lower cost object or cloud storage for the remainder of its useful life. It also can protect data against system and site failures by replicating the data to remote storage system or cloud.

Discovery why State and Local Government agencies across the US like Orange County (CA), City of Mesa (AZ), Nacogdoches County (TX), Will County (IL), State of NC and Florida Lottery utilize Secure Archive Manager for its data lifecycle management capabilities including WORM and retention to meet governance requirements, lower costs and achieve higher levels of data protection.
