As enterprise data grows on file systems, it can quickly exhaust terabytes or more of expensive storage space. Storage spent on old or infrequently accessed data not only consumes precious resources, it costs time and money to manage and maintain. Archiving  and Storage Virtualisation  both address resource issues by providing an automated and integrated solution for archiving file server content to lower cost storage.

Archiving lets you free up storage space, reduce overall storage requirements and keep all content fully searchable and instantly accessible to the end-user. With an option to retain multiple versions of the same file or document, user-driven recovery of specific content significantly reduces administration overhead.
