Not all company data is of equal importance, businesses will need to manage and retain different pieces of information based on their individual value. Certain information, such as legal documents, may need to be maintained for many years, while other data can be eliminated more quickly. Effective information management requires the classificatin of data into relevant categories, along with the ability to enforce different policies for each category. Therefore, when you plan an archiving solution, you will need to consider flexible classification, filtering, and retention options. Once classified, “stale” data can be separated from valuable data and can be placed on a more cost effective medium. This will free up disk space on expensive storage arrays and also reduce backup windows and associated costs of managing and maintaining backup infrastructure.
