File Archiver
Storage Savings, Server Consolidation, File Virtualization, and Data Classification
Disk Storage Usage Continues to Grow

* The amount of data stored on network servers is growing at over 20% per year.
* Even though hardware storage costs per gigabyte are dropping, the costs of managing storage are skyrocketing.
* In most organizations, 50% of data files on servers will never be accessed again.

Why keep buying more expensive storage instead of archiving old, unneeded files to a lower cost alternative? File Archiver can extend the life of the equipment you currently have!

Optimize Your File Servers
File Archiver Server maintains an inventory of files in its repository database. File Archiver Agent software runs on the file servers you want to manage. The agents take actions on the files that meet your file archiving policies.

File Archiver provides four capabilities to help you save storage:      1. Reporting - View your files by server, by owner, by size, by type, by name, etc. to pinpoint the usage and abuse of your storage. 2. Deleting - Clean up your file servers and purge old and unneeded files. From any report, just check the box next to a file name and click Delete. Reclaim your storage in minutes. 3. Archiving - Protect critical files by copying them to the archive server. Move older versions of files to the archive. 4. Stubbing - Reclaim storage space without disrupting users. Automatically remove older files from file servers and replace them with an intelligent "stub" that invisibly retrieves the original file from the archive. Smart Stubbing™ choices are: OnDemand™ stubs launch application files directly from the archive; Dynamic™ stubs automatically restore files from the archive to their original location when an application or user accesses the file; Revision™ stubs present a user with a choice of the versions of the file that can be restored from the archive.

Lower Storage Costs
If you have two terabytes of expensive server storage where 50% of the data is never accessed, using File Archiver to manage that space can gain you a terabyte in its first archiving process. You can take advantage of SAN devices easily and immediately without changing any applications. File Archiver can move files from expensive RAID storage to your SAN with a simple policy rule.

Lower Management Costs
File Archiver removes the need for endless housekeeping by IT professionals trying to relieve the pressure of disk storage filling up. File Archiver runs automatically at regular intervals, actively and transparently searching for candidate files to delete, copy, archive, or "stub" that meet your policies.

Save IT Time - Easily Restore "Lost" Files
If you need to recover and restore a file that was accidently deleted or modified in error, you can search for the file in File Archiver and restore a copy from the archive.
