NogaLogic for Data Migration
There are many business and technological reasons to migrate data from one storage system to another—including the need to optimize storage or backup-and-recovery processes; the need to drive down infrastructure costs, information security concerns, business restructuring, and regulatory/compliance considerations.
When undertaking such a migration project, it is an accepted best practice to also clean up any affected data repository. This typically entails purging personal or inappropriate data and unnecessary copies or versions of documents, archiving or destroying documents that have exceeded their required retention period, and moving sensitive business information to secure locations.
Whatever the business need, the first step of any data migration project is to determine what information you actually have in your current data repository. Unfortunately, it’s not unusual to have millions of pieces of unstructured data in a data repository—including many copies and versions of the same document. Much of this unstructured content is often poorly organized and not easily identifiable. So, given the sheer volume of unstructured data, it can be extremely difficult and time-consuming—if not impossible—to identify all your unstructured business information in a repository for appropriate purging, archiving, and re-location in preparation for a data migration project.
NogaLogic for Data Migration
NogaLogic provides you an easy and flexible way to automatically identify unstructured data—regardless of its file format, file name, location, or how it may have been accessed in its native applications—and then centrally organize it and apply policies to facilitate an effective and efficient migration.
NogaLogic utilizes its revolutionary data classification platform to automatically identify and classify documents based on their business context. In addition, NogaLogic provides a full audit trail for each piece of data—including date created/changed, author, and storage location—so you don’t have to worry about losing any valuable data in the process.
NogaLogic also automatically identifies all copies and versions of any document , no matter where they’re stored or how they’re named—and even highlights the differences between different versions. With this insight, you can accomplish your objectives more quickly and easily, while maintaining rigorous compliance with corporate data governance policies.
Centralized Policy Management for Data Migration
NogaLogic makes it easy to centrally define and implement policies for automatically moving specific data from one repository to another based on its business context. For example, you can define a policy that will automatically migrate all information on your top ten customers—including all relevant documents, emails, and spreadsheets etc.—to a high-performance flash drive. Or you can define a policy that will automatically archive unnecessary copies to tape. These policies can then be automatically applied to all appropriate new or updated documents on an ongoing basis—driving down the cost of data management while ensuring consistency of data management.
