Agencies have too much information, so they throw it into data centers like old clothes into a closet, vowing to organize it another day. That day is here. Information management solutions help agencies sort through the data clutter. Federal IT leaders face numerous challenges – tight budgets, inefficient legacy systems, meeting Federal mandates – and Information Governance and Information Availability programs often are a lower priority. That’s beginning to change because agencies understand that Information Governance and Information Availability reduce risk, increase efficiency, and save money. A progressive approach to information management helps agencies get data under control.

Information Governance and Information Availability help agencies overcome data chaos. Veritas empowers agencies to recognize the business value of information management.

Data Loss Prevention Data Insight Enterprise features

All the features of Data Insight for Storage, plus:

• Data Owner Identification – tracks file usage and reports the top five users of sensitive data for files found as part of a Data Loss Prevention Network Discover scan.
• Risk Scoring – combines Data Loss Prevention discovery of sensitive data with identification of file access permissions to prioritize folders that are at greatest risk.
• Data Access Visualization and History – records all file usage and provides multiple views into file activity with an ability to monitor sensitive files and directories.

The Veritas eDiscovery Platform is the leading enterprise eDiscovery solution that enables enterprises, governments, and law firms to manage legal, regulatory, and investigative matters using a single application. The Veritas eDiscovery Platform was purpose-built for eDiscovery, making it easy for organizations to defensibly solve real-world challenges across the entire eDiscovery lifecycle from legal hold and collections through analysis, review, and production. Veritas eDiscovery Platform can be rapidly deployed in-house or hosted by a certified service provider.

Planning for, managing, and storing an explosion of information is only part of the overall information management and governance challenge. Regardless of whether your organization is regulated or not, there is still a growing need to search electronic information for other reasons including: internal audits, HR requests, compliance supervision, and legal cases. Archiving to a central repository helps you to be more proactive and prepared when it comes to search and eDiscovery because it’s not a matter of if, but a matter of when.

As the most widely deployed archiving solution in the market, with over 10 years’ experience, Veritas Enterprise Vault has enabled tens of thousands customers to better store, manage, and discover their email and electronic files.

Features and benefits

• Enterprise information archive—Archive less-frequently accessed information across multiple content sources, including Microsoft® Exchange and SharePoint®, IBM Domino® and file servers, to reclaim and reuse expensive storage resources.
• Flexible .PST and .NSF migration—Automatically locate and migrate existing .PST and .NSF files into the archive, to help regain control of the information contained within those files. Central control of .PST and .NSF files streamlines eDiscovery and reduces storage costs, backup windows, and risk associated with lost or stolen files.
• Seamless end user experience—Provide easy access to archived information anytime, anywhere via users’ existing tools (Microsoft Outlook®, SharePoint, etc.); while online, disconnected from the network, or on mobile devices.
• Flexible classification—Empower your end users to move individual email into unique retention folders based on parameters set forth by your organization, or analyze Exchange email content and metadata with Veritas Enterprise Vault™ Data Classification Services to automatically determine the archive and retention strategy for that message and attachment. Classification tags may also be assigned to flag the message for supervisory review within Veritas Enterprise Vault™ Compliance Accelerator. These tags are also searchable and can be used as filters within Veritas Enterprise Vault™ Discovery Accelerator and the Veritas™ eDiscovery Platform.
• Intuitive electronic discovery with guided review—Improve the identification and review of archived content with advanced search, conversation threading, and bulk marking and tagging. Relevant items are easily preserved within the archive for legal hold. Integration with the eDiscovery Platform expands search to non-archived content and allows for more granular review and analysis.
• Simplified installation and administration—Get Enterprise Vault up and running in minutes and easily manage it day-to-day with wizards and dashboards.
• Low total cost of ownership—Maintain an efficient archive by using flexible deployment options (physical or virtual), storage tiering, compression, and global deduplication.

Hybrid clouds are business services that combine private (on premises) and public (off premises) cloud implementations. In these hybrid architectures, workloads, data, and services flow seamlessly between private and public cloud infrastructures to maximize speed, flexibility, and agility, while still preserving management control.

Veritas InfoScale enables customers to take their distributed, high performance, and highly available file systems and combine them with the latest storage and networking technologies with its Flexible Storage Sharing (FSS) feature. Flexible Storage Sharing allows customers to unlock the true potential of Direct Attached Storage (DAS), without sacrificing performance or availability to drive up to 4x the performance at less than 20 percent of the cost of a traditional Storage Area Network (SAN) environment. FSS is not limited to a “DAS-only” deployment but can be used in conjunction with SAN in a hybrid deployment allowing the existing SAN hardware to also be used.
