Gain control of rogue data

As organisations struggle with the search and retrieval of unmanaged data stored in siloed infrastructures, Hitachi Data Systems has introduced new file and content services that ‘dramatically simplify data management’. The newly unveiled Hitachi Data Discovery Suite delivers powerful content index and search services across network attached storage (NAS) and content archive environments - an industry first, according to Hitachi, that ‘breaks through the traditional barriers of stovepipe storage infrastructures and mitigates the risk of unmanaged or rogue data’.

“Organisations are spending millions per year in e-discovery and these costs are compounded by the escalating expenses associated with storage sprawl in environments with large amounts of file based or unstructured data,” said John Mansfield, senior vice president, Global Solutions, Strategy and Development, Hitachi Data Systems. “Previous generation file storage products were not designed to be efficient in terms of storage utilisation and data management. We are taking our proven experience in storing and managing block storage environments and extending that strength to file services - reducing the risk of rogue data, while improving operating efficiencies.”
