Let’s face it, file servers are messy. Even the most well intentioned efforts to organize file shares suffer from the same problem: users.
Since I joined EMC 9.5 years ago, I’ve never deleted any files that I stored on any shared drive or my own hard drive. Every once in a while I think I should clean up some old files, but I rarely have any spare time. In reality, if I spend any time cleaning up anything, it is my email inbox. I find I get more anxious by thousands of emails in my inbox than I do by GBs worth of file data.
But what doesn’t have to be messy is how you license your archive technology. For this, the EMC Data Protection Suite is a simple, neat package that allows you to license data protection capabilities – both EMC archive and backup software – in a capacity model.
This makes it easy for customers and partners to take advantage of all of the EMC data protection software capabilities without the complexity of different licensing models and part numbers.
I think the greatest impact from an archive perspective is the simplicity to license EMC SourceOne for Files in a capacity model. With all of the different options available with EMC SourceOne for file archiving, file tiering, indexing in place, linking, stubbing etc., it used to be a daunting task for customers and partners to configure all the relevant pieces.
Now with the Data Protection Suite, licensing EMC SourceOne is simply by the capacity of what you want to archive. And you can grow your capacity as your volumes increase.
We can’t help with messy users, but we can make it simple to purchase EMC archiving software to manage your data growth. Find out more about the EMC Data Protection Suite here. LB
