Overview

With the dramatic growth in data storage and shrinking IT budgets, it is essential for IT organizations to have an efficient and cost-effective means of implementing intelligent data management solutions. The ARKIVIO® auto-xplor software used by Arkivio and its partners is a storage assessment tool that provides IT managers detailed information about volumes and files in their heterogeneous storage network, without requiring installation of server agents or changes to their current infrastructure configuration. When combined with our professional services, the solution enables IT managers to implement a detailed storage audit that gathers critical information and produces in-depth reports about the data storage environment, giving them the insight to develop a go-forward strategy best suited for the availability, manageability and protection of their data and storage assets.

The ARKIVIO® auto-xplor software identifies categories of data consuming large amounts of storage, including types of files, files that haven’t been changed or accessed, unusually large files and more. At the volume level, under-utilized storage, as well as volumes reaching full capacity are quickly identified, allowing you to visualize how data is distributed and used in order to determine your precise storage requirements and avoid "out-of-capacity" occurrences. By identifying and migrating lower-value data off primary storage, IT managers can better utilize existing costly resources, make more effective use of storage management time, significantly reduce the time and media required for backup and dramatically improve responses in case of disaster recovery.
