Nogacom provides you with an effective solution for optimizing storage of unstructured data and maximizing the ROI from your investments in storage infrastructure.
Identify and assess your data. First, with NogaLogic you can automatically identify and classify your data based on its business value to your organization, and get a clear understanding how it is used throughout its lifecycle. Through this process you will:
- Get a complete picture of your data assets including all copies and versions of documents
- Automatically identify all your unstructured data by its business context
- Map assets by location to understand how your storage resources are utilized
- Understand who owns data, what user permissions exist for this data, and how and to whom data was distributed
- See when and by whom documents were last used
Define your storage management policies. Once you have this granular visibility and a full understanding of your unstructured data, you can centrally define policies that will ensure that the right data is stored in the most appropriate storage system, based on your business’s best practices and compliance considerations. For example, you can define a policy that automatically copies 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 moves all Personally Identifiable Information (PII) to a specific secure directory. Or you can define a policy that automatically archives older versions of documents that have not been recently accessed to tape. These policies can be defined using any combination of content attributes—including age, file type, frequency of use, most recent use, and business context.
Enforce and monitor. Once you have defined your data storage policies, NogaLogic will then automatically implement them. You can even use NogaLogic to automatically apply your storage policies to any relevant new or updated documents on an ongoing basis. NogaLogic also provides an audit trail for each piece of data—including date created/changed, author, and storage location—so you can track your data and document your compliance with regulatory mandates.
Measure your success. After you’ve optimized your storage, you should continue to use NogaLogic to understand your changing data assets and fine-tune your storage policies as necessary to further drive down costs and ensure that business users have rapid access to the content they need to do their jobs. You can also adaptively modify your policies and practices to more quickly and cost-effectively respond to changing business needs and new regulatory mandates.
