TRUSTED DATA REFINERY
Data Bloat
Eliminate data bloat that's consuming storage budgets and overwhelming governance with Trusted Data Refinery's intelligent data classification and ROT elimination.
Eliminating the 60% ROT That Overwhelms Your Storage
Data Bloat often metastasizes across scattered systems and departments, leading to data fragmentation. This fragmentation makes it difficult to rapidly identify, access, search for, store, expose risk, analyze, and effectively utilize Data Assets, while dramatically diminishing the anticipated ROI on your organization's expensive investment in data generation, Copilot, and AI tools. Trusted Data Refinery addresses this problem at its source.
The Bloat Problem
With the explosion of Unstructured Data, especially in Windows and Linux File Shares and SharePoint, the escalating volume is overwhelming enterprises. Up to 60% of this data is ROT [Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial] content that is not only costly to store but also poses substantial compliance and liability risks. This Dark Data creates a massive swamp that overwhelms CIO budgets and blocks AI initiatives.
Data Reader: Visibility at Scale
Data Reader securely and seamlessly reads Unstructured Data sitting idle across Windows and Linux file systems. Its ability to read data at an exabyte scale ensures that targeted Unstructured Data can be accessed and processed without moving it. Data Reader can scan 8 million files per hour, that's one billion files per week, delivering the necessary insight for identifying bloat.
Data Identifier: ROT Classification
Data Identifier's classification process actively finds duplicates and classifies ROT data, which can often exceed 60% of an organization's storage. By identifying ownership through Active Directory integration, the system knows exactly who is responsible for bloated content, facilitating targeted campaigns to clean up the storage environment.
Smart Stack: Policy-Based Action
Smart Stack provides Optimized Retention Policy Routing Instructions based on the organization's Policy, Compliance, Utilization, and Security demands. ROT data is identified, classified, and routed to appropriate disposition, whether that's deletion, archival, or continued monitoring. This policy-based approach prevents future bloat while maintaining compliance.
Key Benefits
- 60%+ Reduction: Eliminate ROT that comprises the majority of data bloat.
- Ownership Clarity: Know who is responsible for bloated content.
- Policy Enforcement: Automated retention prevents future bloat accumulation.
- AI Enablement: Lean data estate enables effective AI utilization.
Conclusion
Data bloat isn't inevitable, it's a symptom of unmanaged data growth. Trusted Data Refinery addresses the root cause while reclaiming your storage budget and enabling AI readiness.
