Intelligent archiving is about managing your data's lifecycle based in part on its probability of access. The probability of a file being accessed goes down over time, reaching a point where the likelihood of access is practically non-existent. At some point in this cycle, the data is considered inactive or static and should be archived. In fact, research shows that on average, 70 percent of a company's data on primary storage is static and eligible to be archived. Companies that keep static data on primary storage are wasting their money.

In addition to the explosive growth of data, the increase in many of today's laws and regulations (Sarbanes-Oxley, SEC 17a-4, HIPAA, FDA 21 CFR, FRCP, etc.) stipulate rules around data retention and deletion, authenticity, accessibility and confidentiality. All of this has made it imperative that companies of all size relocate their static digital data from expensive primary storage through intelligent active archiving to a data preservation system like the ProStor InfiniVault.

ProStor InfiniVault is the most cost-effective solution to the active archiving imperative. Small to medium enterprises now have a comprehensive and intelligent data preservation solution for archiving their static data.
