Speaker(s): Jim Walker, OuterBay Technologies

Rapid data growth as a result of stricter data retention and financial reporting guidelines imposed by regulations such as Sarbanes-Oxley Act are forcing enterprises to take an active approach to managing data. In fact, many of today's enterprises experience annual data growth of 125%, of which 80% is typically inactive.

Learn how the implementation of an application data lifecycle management (ADLM) solution allows organizations to monitor and manage data across applications, databases and storage infrastructure, and ensure it is stored in the most cost-effective place for its age and relevance to the business. In doing so, organizations are able to improve overall system performance and ensure maximum storage utilization for lower storage TCO.

This presentation will explore how an ADLM solution can help enterprises to improve applicattion performance by up to 70% while maintaining access to data required by business users, and ensuring permanent access to data that must be retained by law.

Attendees will learn how enterprises are using ADLM to manage data through its lifecycle to achieve the following benefits:

• Greater overall storage utilization
• Lower stroage TCO and improved ROI
• Improved system performance
• Utilization of most-efficient storage class based on data type, age and relevance
