GigaOm Radar for Unstructured Data Management: Infrastructure-Focused Solutions

We are coming to a point where storing data safely and for a long period of time does not actually bring any benefit to an organization, and it can quickly become a liability. However, with the right processes and tools, it’s now possible to take control of data and exploit its hidden value, transforming it from a liability to an asset.

With the right unstructured data management solutions, it’s possible to:

• Understand what data is stored in the storage systems, no matter how complex and dispersed.
• Build a strategy to intervene on costs while increasing the return on investment (ROI) for data storage.

Depending on the approach chosen by the user, there are several potential benefits to building and developing a data management strategy for unstructured data, including better security and compliance, improved end-user services, reduced costs, and data reusability. The right data management strategy enables organizations to mitigate risk and make the most of opportunities.
