Data Reader
Trusted Data Refinery's Data Reader securely accesses escalating Unstructured Data at speed and scale across Microsoft File Shares, Linux File Shares, SharePoint, and a defined set of additional file systems without ever moving or exposing the data. Scanning up to 8 million files per hour, Data Reader delivers real-time visibility for optimization, compliance, and AI readiness.
Speed at Scale
Data Reader can scan 8 million files per hour, that's one billion files per week, delivering the necessary insight for metadata enrichment at speeds no competitor can match. This enterprise-scale performance is essential for organizations with massive unstructured data estates spanning multiple file systems and storage platforms.
The data itself stays intact. We are not doing anything to the data; we are just reading it and getting the information that we need while maintaining secure access to it.
Non-Invasive Architecture
Data Reader operates without moving or exposing data. It connects directly to your existing file systems and reads metadata in place, ensuring data integrity and security. This approach eliminates the risks associated with data migration while providing complete visibility into your unstructured data estate.
Supported File Systems
Data Reader connects to a defined, limited set of file systems optimized for enterprise environments:
Microsoft File Shares: Native support for Windows-based network shares across your organization.
Linux File Shares: Full compatibility with Linux-based storage systems and NFS mounts.
SharePoint: Deep integration with SharePoint document libraries and sites.
Additional Systems: A defined set of additional file systems to meet specific enterprise requirements.
Real-Time Visibility
By examining file details such as file name, type, size, and creation and modification dates, Data Reader provides comprehensive insight into your data landscape. This visibility is the foundation for metadata enrichment by Data Identifier, enabling the transformation of Dark Data into Actionable Trusted Data.
