Information Lifecycle Management
• Information Lifecycle Management
(ILM) is a comprehensive paradigm to
manage the flow of data and metadata
through your company’s systems, from
creation and storage to the time when
it becomes obsolete and needs to be
discarded.
– Information must be classified
– Information has a lifecycle
– The business value of information
changes over its lifecycle

In the Absence of Data Management
• Storage is a junk drawer – as much as
70% of capacity is wasted
• After normalizing over 10,000 storage
assessments, we find
– 30% of the data occupying spindles is
useful
– 40% is inert (needed for retention, but
never accessed)
– 15% of capacity is allocated but
unused (often “dark storage”)
– 10% is orphan data whose
owner/server no longer exist
– 5% (low estimate) is contraband

data as soon as it is read

financial private information

Portability and Accountability
Act of 1996
