"From my perspective, compliance should not be seen as another corporate tax, but as an opportunity, a strategic investment that also helps an organization improve its ability to manage and protect its valuable information assets throughout their lifecycle. Arkvio's Auto-Stor solution can help organizations assess, classify, and then apply appropriate levels of retention and data protection to compliance-related data throughout its lifecycle."

"Lifecycle Management of data and information is both a process and solution that must provide methods for identifying and classifying data and storage resources and attaching a value to each set. Lifecycle Management encompasses the functionality of storage resource management (SRM), automated data migration or hierarchical storage management (HSM), and policy-based automation for data management actions, such as data movement, replication, purging, archiving, data retention and backup."

"One area that is often overlooked when implementing a disaster recovery plan is the length of time required for a recovery. As businesses move aggressively to minimize exposure to disruption and loss of critical data, new Data Management solutions that identify less valuable and/or less accessed data and automate migration from primary storage to secondary storage (i.e. near-online, low-cost NAS) can significantly reduce backup windows and speed disaster recovery times."

"Arkivio has a solid story. ARKIVIO® auto-stor takes a costly but indispensable asset - storage - and makes it more efficient. Efficiency translates to ongoing cost savings, which ultimately helps the bottom line. This is business, after all. Enterprises looking to squeeze greater efficiencies out of their storage infrastructure, Arkivio auto-stor stands out as one to consider."

"IT administrators are looking for more cost-effective ways to utilize their storage in the enterprise. We were attracted to the ARKIVIO® auto-stor software because it took storage management in a completely different direction from the traditional method which tended to be more passive in nature. The ARKIVIO solution allows the administrator to set automation policies that transparently move data to the most appropriate storage resource - resulting in immediate savings in both the day-to-day operational tasks that burden IT administrators and in optimizing an enterprise’s existing storage infrastructure - which can be beneficial for companies that are looking to lower the cost of storage."

"We are currently integrating ARKIVIO® auto-stor into many of our large customers' IT sites to help them understand and optimize their storage environment." "Arkivio's agentless discovery allows us to unobtrusively determine for our customers how to optimize their backup windows, fully utilize existing capacity, and implement new hardware for tiered storage and online archiving. Seamlessly implementing and automating these cost reducing projects would not be possible without the use of Arkivio's software solution."
