Organizations managing data have a competitive advantage over organizations that don't. But most organizations don't have the time or tools available to implement a successful data management strategy. It’s not for a lack of trying. Many organizations fight a losing battle when trying to implement a data management solution. In this webinar Storage Switzerland and Dternity/StrongBox Data Solutions will discuss the three reasons why organizations are losing the data management battle, and provide guidance on how to start winning the battle.

3. The (Lost) Art Of Data Management

4. • The process of making sure that data is on the
right storage and in the right location at the
right time
• It is more than just moving old data to cheap
storage
• Losing to the “put it all on flash or all in the
cloud” mentality
What Is Data Management?

5. • Lowers cost
• Improves data
protection
• Enables data search
Why Data Management?

6. • Why did HSM Fail?
• Why did ILM Fail?
• Why is Caching/Tiering Failing?
Haven’t We Been Here Before?

7. • Data Management is full of point solutions
• Solutions that accelerate
• Solutions that cost correct
• Solutions that move data to the cloud
• Solutions that index for search
• But Data Management needs all of these
Siloed Point Solutions

8. • Most solutions operate on modification
and access dates only
• Your data is more than a bunch of dates
• What other information can we easily
capture?
• Why don’t all solutions do this?
Little Or No Data Classification

9. • You may be able to store data forever but if you
can’t find it why bother?
• Acceleration solutions? no search
• Global file systems? no search
• Archive systems? Limited, typically file name and
date access/modified
• Object storage systems? Basic search of metadata
- some integration with elasticsearch
Unable To Find The Data

10. • Has to be simple but also
has to be powerful
• Has to manage the
ENTIRE data life-cycle
• Has to be found -
Preservation is important,
finding it makes it more so
IT Needs Data Management

11. The data explosion has reached critical mass.
• Neither storage nor traditional data management solves the problem.
DAMs are narrowly focused, inflexible, and are not Storage Aware.
Storage Solutions alone are siloed, and not Data Aware.

12. The answer is in the metadata.
• It is the “Rosetta Stone” that bridges data and storage management.
This means the solution must be both Storage Aware & Data Aware
• Any storage and data type, from any vendor, in any location.
