The first step in archiving is to get insights about the profile of your files. Luckily, there are ample storage system-assigned metadata that can indicate when content was created, when it was most recently accessed, when it was last modified, and even whether the file is owned by an active or inactive user (orphaned files).
Policies can be created to dictate when files that uae rcs data meet certain criteria get relocated to the archive platform. For example, files that have not been accessed or modified within the last three years are relocated to the archive platform.
Many organizations are surprised that over 60% of their stored data falls into this category. And with petabytes of data and billions of files being stored, this can really add up. been identified, it is important to move it to the new platform in the most efficient and least disruptive manner.
This means using a solution that is fast, scalable and, most importantly, doesn’t lock you into keeping it in place permanently for recall and migration purposes. In most circumstances, each archiving event is akin to a migration. It is a point-in-time activity that should be a one-and-done event, not an arduous ongoing trial with unacceptable future consequences. With these considerations front of mind, organizations can manage unstructured data growth with confidence.
