The app scans on-premises NAS file systems to identify hidden cold data to migrate to lower-cost cloud storage solutions. The tool scans over millions of files and can be customized to match the financial and operational policies of users. Insight simulates policies, based on file size and the last time they were accessed or modified, that move the inactive files to lower-cost private or public cloud storage and generates a shareable report on estimated, yearly cost savings.
“Hybrid cloud approaches for managing active and inactive file data today require organizations to make tradeoffs in cost, performance and complexity,” said Kris Meier, vice product management, InfiniteIO. “The challenge for IT and finance leaders is compounded by finding, accessing and protecting petabytes of capacity or billions of files at annual growth rates of 40 to 50%. Infinite Insight offers a first step for organizations to better support data growth and business transformation by integrating metadata management solutions that optimize cost and performance throughout their hybrid cloud environment, without disrupting their workflows.“

Insight leverages the company’s approach to real-time analytics and metadata management by intelligently locating and recommending the transfer of inactive data to cloud storage. A customizable dashboard offers a view of the user’s real-world file environments. Using Insight together with the firm’s hybrid cloud tiering solutions, customers and partners can implement a cloud strategy that extends the life of existing NAS, helps cloud storage perform as fast as AFAs and makes data always available for critical workflows, without making changes to existing users, applications or storage.
