TRUSTED DATA REFINERY
Unstructured Data Inaccessibility
Your most valuable operational data lives in File Shares and SharePoint — yet it remains invisible to AI. Trusted Data Refinery unlocks this data at exabyte scale.
Unlocking the Value Hidden in File Shares and SharePoint
An organization's highest-value Unstructured Data lives in its File Shares. Across the enterprise landscape, Microsoft's File Shares and SharePoint contain an organization's most active and relevant operational data, yet they remain bloated, unmanageable, costly, ungovernable, chaotic, and full of ROT. This is the data that Copilot needs most, yet it remains unusable. Trusted Data Refinery makes it accessible.
The Problem: Invisible Data Assets
Without proper reading, enrichment, and organization, File Share and SharePoint data cannot be searched, governed, or utilized by Copilot. Most enterprises operate with massive volumes of unstructured and legacy data that are duplicated, outdated, poorly classified, or completely opaque. This Dark Data overwhelms governance systems and limits AI's ability to produce accurate, confident answers.
Data Reader: Scale Without Movement

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 by Data Identifier without moving it. Data Reader connects to Microsoft File Shares, Linux File Shares, and SharePoint, scanning 8 million files per hour — that's one billion files per week.
Data Identifier: Metadata Enrichment
Data Identifier provides critical metadata enhancement of all scanned data, transforming Dark Data into Trusted Data. It populates the Elasticsearch Indexing Database by identifying ownership through Active Directory integration, classifying sensitivity, and generating high-fidelity metadata tags — all without moving or exposing the data.
Smart Stack: Searchable Collections
Smart Stack groups enriched data into curated Trusted Data Collections that enable efficient data exploration, retrieval, and analysis. These organized collections transform invisible assets into searchable, AI-Ready Trusted Data that Copilot and other AI systems can safely utilize.
Key Benefits
- Massive Scale: Scan 1 billion files per week across Windows and Linux file systems.
- No Data Movement: Read and enrich data in place without migration or exposure risk.
- Full Visibility: Transform invisible Dark Data into searchable Trusted Data Collections.
- AI Enablement: Make File Share content available to Copilot and analytics platforms.
Conclusion
Your File Shares contain your organization's most valuable operational knowledge. Stop leaving it invisible to AI. Trusted Data Refinery's Data Reader unlocks this data at enterprise scale.
