One of the issues that impact IT departments in almost every industry is accelerating data growth. Data streams into a business from multiple sources digital voice mails from the VOIP system, information entered into the CRM database by sales people, scanned documents into repositories, and a deluge of emails, documents, and digital media that swell corporate file shares. Changing legal and regulatory statues require businesses to maintain data longer and to make it searchable and available upon request. This growth strains the underlying informational systems, impacting disaster recovery mechanisms and data protection schemes and complicates the day to day operation of the information technology department. Sometimes the most difficult component of the data growth problem is determining how much data an enterprise has, who it belongs to, and determining what is important and what can be discarded. Zunesis works with multiple tools to help an Information Technology department get visibility into their data repositories. Zunesis will lead interviews and meetings with the stakeholders to help shape a set of data management policies and recommend tools to automate the execution of growth containment measures.
