There are two kinds of data - dynamic and persistent. Dynamic data is in flux. Persistent data is, for the most part, fixed. ESG has found that 60% to 80% of all data is persistent and yet is being stored on storage systems that were designed for dynamic data.

Moving persistent data to the appropriate tier of storage is a crucial first step to ensure that the storage system is cost effective, massively scalable and easy to manage. Federated search enables leaps in efficiency since it creates commonality where none existed and allows you to leverage all of your content independent of the various applications.

View this Webcast, featuring industry expert Tony Asaro of Enterprise Strategy Group, to learn about next generation storage systems and the benefits of federated search.

A storage system that provides federated search and indexing based on metadata within the content raises that storage system from data storage to information storage. The value of accessing information quickly and precisely should be self-evident. In the case of compliance, it can make the difference in saving you from a hefty fine and can provide evidence to support your case during litigation proceedings.

This Webcast, featuring Tony Asaro, senior analyst at ESG, will discuss next generation storage systems and the value of turning data into information. The Webcast will also discuss Exanet, an emerging vendor that provides a true clustered NAS solution with integrated search and indexing capabilities.
