Get To Know Your Data - With A File System Assessment (FSA)

Everyday business activity creates an ever increasing mountain of information. But how valuable is this information? And what are the true costs to your business of storing it? Unchecked file systems add no value whatsoever to your business and cost you dearly in storage. Not only that, this data drives up management costs while impairing user productivity and backup efficiency. It clogs up your file servers and hampers your company's ability to support critical business applications.

It's a fact that 7 out of 10* files are needlessly costing you money to store - so our research tells us. Worse than that, it undermines your ability to effectively manage, store and retrieve your data. It increases your on-going costs in terms of disk and tape storage, while impacting your disaster recovery capabilities. The good news is that 30% of your information makes you money - but how do you find that valuable information within a mountain of data?

Find your most valuable data

EMC FSA identifies those files that are vital to your strategy and those that are burning a hole in your corporate IT budget. From over 300 FSA reports* to date, on average, EMC found that over 75% of customer files analysed have not been modified in the last 180 days and 35% of file content is fixed. Think how much that has cost your business over the last 12 months, having to pay for tapes and offsite tape storage fees?

Ask yourself these questions:

• Do static files make up the majority of your file system capacity?
• Are file system backups taking an unacceptably long time to complete?
• Does it take too long and is it too difficult to recover your file systems after an outage?

If the answer is yes to any of these questions, you are ready now for FSA. Try our FREE FSA now.
