Customer Challenges

• Explosive growth of unstructured data (files)

• Security and Regulatory compliance

• Storage admin tasks highly manual and redundant

• Rapid head count turnover

• Costs in hardware, power, cooling, administration

•More electronic collaboration = more files

© Novell, Inc. All rights reserved.4

• How many orphaned folders are on the network?• How many TB of MP3s?• How many documents haven't been accessed in the six months? The last year?

• How many redundant files are stored?

• Do you know how much space the files above take up on your network?

• How much time are you spending backing it up?

• Understanding your data better is the first step to rationalizing it

Do you know...?
