Data Audits
Not all data is the same, some data is extremely important and is accessed daily. This is considered absolutely critical to the running of your business. Other data is not so important and is forgotten nearly as soon as it is created.
Traditionally, all of this data is stored on the same storage as critical data. This results in performance lags, increased hardware costs and lenghty back up windows.
Savenet Solutions Data Audit report analyses all of your critical data and develops a report based on:
- Daily Data Growth
- File Age Distribution - Last Access Report/Dorman Files
- Duplicate Files
- Breakdown of files by type - doc, excel, MP3, movie, pdf, etc
- And much more
This information is of huge importance when a company is deciding on the long term management of their data. The report can indicate that the company needs to implement an Archiving solution or simply clean up their data by deleting old data.
This report is also beneficial when deciding what data is critical for an Online Backup or Disaster Recovery solution. It is also important to see if there are any MP3/itunes files are stored on the network.
Illegal storage of music and video files are subject to large fines from IMRO. The Irish Rights Music Organisation have large fines for any company who has un-licensed music or video stored on their network. Obviously the only way they could find out is by an audit. Directors need to ensure that their employees are not using the company network as a glorified personal storage unit.
