The Challenges of Unstructured Data Management and Storage

Approximately 2.5 quintillion bytes of data are generated each day. A large percentage of it is unstructured, existing across multiple storage systems, endpoints and cloud environments and in a variety of formats. The 3-2-1 backup strategy, a key data loss prevention best practice, contributes to the growth of that data as well – and to the issues associated with leveraging its value.

While unstructured data has the potential to provide critical insights and information, it also may be redundant, obsolete or trivial (ROT), or contain errors. Nonetheless, organizations continue to collect it, store it and create multiple backups of it. After many lifecycles of backups and migration journeys, they’re often left with massive data swamps.

Much of the data may lack value yet is taking up costly storage space. In many cases, organizations may be unaware that some of this data contains personal identifiable information (PII) or other sensitive information that’s subject to data privacy requirements yet lacks sufficient protection. The data also could be stored in locations that aren’t easily or quickly searchable or accessible to authorized users.

Bottom line: organizations can’t protect their unstructured data or leverage its value if they don’t know what they have, how to access or how to cost effectively manage it– including storing it. Together, The Aparavi Data Intelligence and Automation Platform and Wasabi Hot Cold Storage change that.

The Aparavi Platform and Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage

Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage is the industry’s most affordable and highest-performing cloud storage service, making it an ideal secondary storage repository. It’s faster than alternative cloud storage services like Amazon S3, and one fifth of the price. Engineered for extreme data integrity, Wasabi Hot Cloud Storage provides eleven nines (99.999999999%) durability of objects over a given year. A highly parallelized system architecture delivers breakthrough performance, so large datasets can be rapidly moved in and out of the cloud with The Aparavi Platform.

The Aparavi Platform can improve storage consolidation and management on Wasabi by revealing hidden data, valuable data assets, and ROT data. The Platform enables companies to know their data so they can better manage and protect it – and more fully take advantage of its potential value. Once organizations unlock and fully understand the value of their data sets, The Aparavi Platform can give end users the ability to manage that data’s lifecycle. For example, The Platform’s data actions feature enables the end user or service provider to migrate data to compatible cloud storage repositories like Wasabi’s Hot Cloud Storage and reap significant cost and performance benefits. The end result: reduced risks and costs and the ability to leverage data for business insights and new revenue streams

Key Aparavi Platform Capabilities

Data Identification: Discover unstructured data, no matter where it resides, how much exists or fast it’s growing. This allows for identifying redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data and data that’s outside required SLAs. Use the information to clean or delete data, freeing up storage space and reducing costs as well as risks. It also helps eliminate data swamps and data silos.

Data Classification:. Use any of more than 140 built-in classification policies, or create custom policies, to classify large data sets. This also exposes the sensitive or PII data that requires special handling to meet data privacy and access requirements. The ability to scan over 70 different metadata fields – more than other similar platforms – also facilitates better search capabilities and more accurate results.

Data Movement: Use policy-based actions to copy, archive, or delete data according to your company’s data retention policies, and provide secure access to organized content by approved users or applications on premises or to the cloud.
