Leonovus Smart Filer Dramatically Reduces Corporate Data Storage Costs with Payback in as little as Three Months
September 12 2019 - 6:39AM
Leonovus Inc., (“Leonovus or the Company”) (TSXV: LTV)
(OTC: LVNSF) the ‘Untether Your Data’ company, today
announced initial findings from its August 13, 2019 launch of its
free Data Discovery Tool, an integral part of the new Smart Filer
software product.
Based on Data Discovery Tool scans of file servers from several
potential Smart Filer customers, on average, 82% of the data in the
storage scanned had not been accessed for more than six months. One
of the scans also showed a significant amount of unauthorized video
data stored on corporate servers. These infrequently accessed
(“cold”) and unauthorized files consume relatively expensive
storage media and illustrate where customers can cut their storage
costs significantly with Smart Filer while increasing their
understanding of their data.
“We designed Smart Filer with the following principles in mind.
It must be simple to install with a powerful analytics/data
classification front-end, and a data tiering policy engine. Next,
it has to be storage vendor agnostic, and when deployed, totally
transparent to the end-user. Finally, it has to reduce the cost of
data storage significantly by optimizing relatively expensive,
performant on-premises storage resources and leveraging cloud
storage,” said Michael Gaffney, Leonovus Inc., Chair and CEO.
Using Leonovus Smart Filer is a three-step process. First,
storage analysts use the network share scanning capability to
quickly classify the mix of hot, warm, and cold data, as well as
the types of files in which it resides. Next, IT administrators use
the resulting analytics to design and implement new storage
policies based on file types and activity. Finally,
administrators configure Smart Filer to offload infrequently
accessed data to low cost data storage (typically cloud-based)
automatically and transparently. Users retain access to the files
throughout, with no changes to how they access them.
About Leonovus Smart Filer
Today’s IT organizations are constantly challenged with
maintaining primary data storage infrastructure that are often near
or over capacity. Because this data grows so fast and from so
many sources, much of it goes unmanaged, meaning it must be stored
in overburdened primary storage with the greatest levels of
protection and performance available and typically with the highest
costs. Leonovus Smart Filer applies analytics to this data,
classifying it and transparently, offloading it.
Smart Filer is an information lifecycle management (ILM)
solution that analyzes existing file storage and extends its
capacity automatically and transparently. According to
customer-defined policies, infrequently accessed files are
automatically removed from high-cost, high-performance primary
storage, and placed in lower cost secondary or cloud storage,
without any changes to how users and applications access them. When
Leonovus Vault is deployed with Smart Filer, customers not only
have lower data storage costs but enhanced data security and
durability.
By 2025, IDC says worldwide data will grow 61% to 175
zettabytes, with as much of the data residing in the cloud as in
data centers. As data continues to grow, Smart Filer’s information
lifecycle management (ILM) capability will continue to analyze
existing file storage and automatically and transparently move data
into hybrid cloud storage architectures.
