Get granular information on how data is used and what data is unused to effectively manage exploding data.
As data volumes continue to explode and business users clamor for access to more data, IT teams need to understand how users interact with data to ensure the most relevant business information is readily available. The challenges that IT faces in reducing complexity and costs of managing data are:
- Data growth is exponential but the IT team has no visibility on how data is used and what is unused by business users.
- Cost of storage and data management increasing with data size and complexity but no information on whether the data is being used.
- Businesses constantly putting pressure on IT to access more data, but no usage information available to help prioritize projects
