Data Intelligence & Automation with Aparavi

As the enterprise data set continues to sprawl out of control, (the average enterprise data set is well over 400 terabytes), the need to collect all the data about the data will become increasingly important to your governance strategy.

Automating these collection steps will also be a valued commodity in the future of compliance and governance teams to make data-driven decisions on the data. Having all the data collected in a single location also allows for ease of finding data by any combination of content, metadata, and added classification of over 150+ out-of-the-box policies that are ready to go today.

Aparavi’s Data Intelligence and Automation platform are uniquely positioned to become that must-have tool that gives the power to these teams to make educated decisions not based on just the common fields but using all available metadata fields.

Ever wonder why data management processes are so difficult today? Data chaos is running rampant in the enterprise today. Data is everywhere, SAN, NAS, Local, DAS, Cloud storage, collaboration tools – the list goes on. The practice of proper data management is complicated by this massive amount of data sprawl. 

If you compound this data sprawl with the lack of knowledge about the data, well the problems are now almost insurmountable to overcome. Therefore “Knowing Your Data Is Half the Battle”. Understanding the data landscape has always been a challenge, however, when you tally up the total data set that's being managed by the average enterprise today, this total is well over 400 terabytes of data. 

Breaking down how much 400 terabytes is equivalent to 24000 stacks of documents as high as the Eiffel tower, or 8000 high-definition blue Ray films. This amount of data is impossible for humans to manage. There are an estimated 1 million files per terabyte of data, meaning the typical enterprise organization now stores, protects, governs, and manages over 400 million data files within their enterprise data stores. This is the mere definition of data chaos.

Storage tiering helps organizations save time and money, especially when looped into Aparavi, The Data Intelligence & Automation Platform. Aparavi helps organizations make the most of their out-of-support storage devices or servers, cut costs, protect the data that needs to be highly available and recovered quickly if some sort of disaster recovery is needed, and move large groups of files for archiving, compliance, security or data retention purposes. This podcast will explain how Aparavi helps organizations easily orchestrate data to optimize primary, secondary & tertiary storage.

With Data Sovereignty, it's all about location - and ensuring that customer data stays in the customer's country of residence. So how can you achieve a bird's eye view of your enterprise data, and manage data sovereignty requirements confidently and securely? Listen to this podcast to understand how Aparavi makes it easy to adhere to data sovereignty obligations by ensuring that customer data stays within the borders of a country, and limiting access to users within that country, with roles-based access rights.

Data breaches are increasing at an exponential rate as more devices are connected to the enterprise data ecosystem. Companies are struggling to balance two competing business concerns. On the one hand, employees need access to information to support business objectives like increasing revenue, profitability and customer satisfaction. On the other hand, companies need to protect sensitive or business critical data, and prevent cybersecurity incidents. The Aparavi Platform has partnered with Secutor to combine Aparavi’s deep knowledge of enterprise data with Secutor’s Threat and Vulnerability Management services, so customers can make intelligent business decisions while protecting their data. Join us for a podcast conversation with special guest JP Hill III, Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Secutor, as we discuss the importance of combining vulnerability mapping with data mapping to protect your organization from data breaches.

File hygiene is a constant struggle today. Companies try to stay vigilant and delete "dirty" ROT data but that's impossible if they don't KNOW their data. To truly optimize enterprise data and keep it healthy, organizations must know what data they have, how old it is, what sensitive information it may contain, where it is being stored, and who has access. And automation is the only way to improve data health in a scalable way, as the data continues to grow and change.  Enter Aparavi. Aparavi, The Data Intelligence & Automation Platform empowers organizations to know their data, so they can make intelligent decisions about its disposition, at scale, without complexity. 

Did you know that ROT data (redundant, obsolete or trivial data that has no real value to the organization) is costing you more than 60% of your total storage expenditures? Once you clean away this dirty data, you can not only reduce your enterprise storage costs, but also decreases data risk, improves application performance and makes it easier to find and protect business critical information. Aparavi's recommendations to tidy up your IT infrastructure, so you can make 2021 the year to get your enterprise data under control. Listen to this podcast to find out how Aparavi can benefit your organization by reducing your data footprint and decluttering your enterprise data across multicloud, core and endpoints. 

Storage vendors purposely build storage appliances that typically have a three-to-five-year refresh cycles. As a result, data has to constantly be transferred and reformatted to keep up with technology. But throughout hardware updates, the ability to know and access data is paramount. So how can you simplify processes and add data intelligence to the storage hardware lifecycle? In the latest podcast, we'll tell you how Aparavi can help!

State and Local Governments have Petabytes of unstructured legacy data, which only keeps growing, and no comprehensive system in place to search or manage that data. Today there are solutions that can automate the lifecycle of unstructured data and simplify the process of data governance, but there's no time to waste! The likelihood and implications of a data breach continue to grow exponentially, and states adopt new data privacy laws and hold organizations to higher standards of cybersecurity enforcement. This podcast explains how Aparavi helps government entities:

Simple tasks like finding data is a daunting task today due to data silos. According to IDC, workers spend 36% of their day looking for and consolidating information which translates to $5.7 million annually wasted by employees searching and not finding the correct file, and recreating existing content. Listen to this podcast to learn how Aparavi provides an immediate “Day One” ROI with its enterprise search features, by saving your organization millions in administrative time and freeing up your employees to work on more complex and more pressing issues.
