Data archiving according to importance and frequency of use

Data volumes naturally increase as an organisation grows. Yet whilst the need for data access can decrease in frequency, there are often many good reasons – from customer relationship management to legal compliance – for storing it indefinitely. And once stored, it still needs to be easily retrieved when the occasion demands.

ISC – one of the UK’s leading IT solutions provider – has acknowledged this by developing a comprehensive Data Management service. This is designed to archive your data according to its importance and how often you need to use it.

Auditing functions determine data volume, type, number of duplicate copies and ownership. You can then decide which data to keep and for how long, whilst indexing tools enable rapid data retrieval.

The solution is ideal for file-server environments (for archiving important documents and removing those no longer required) and for application servers and messaging (where large stores of e-mail are archived to improve server performance and meet compliance regulations).

  • Storage costs reduced
  • Server performance improved
  • Compliance regulations met
  • E-mail, file & database archiving
  • Important documents archived – obsolete ones removed
  • Fast data indexing for easy recovery
  • Automatic, seamless data movement between storage media

Data Management is a key part of ISC’s unique 4 Tier approach to enterprise storage. We can structure a solution which enables you to reduce your costs, manage more with fewer resources, cope better with large volumes of data and increase your business agility.
