In Symantec has announced Data Insight 3.0, the latest version of its solution that improves information governance by providing intelligence into ownership and usage of unstructured data such as documents, presentations, spreadsheets and emails.
Enhancements to Symantec Data Insight help organizations transform storage operations and simplify information governance processes to reduce costs, reduce risk and achieve compliance.
According to Gartner, the growth rate of data is 40 to 60 percent; but for unstructured data in the enterprise, the growth rate can be up to 80 percent and data is becoming increasingly difficult to manage and protect. IT organizations are faced with seemingly impossible data governance objectives to reduce costs, reduce risk and achieve compliance. IT lacks the business context for the data and must engage the data owners who best understand the value of the data. However, challenges in understanding who owns the data and how it is being used impact ITs ability to operationalize data governance.
Symantec Data Insight addresses these challenges by continuously monitoring data usage and enabling rule-based inferences for data ownership. Understanding how data is being used enables effective unstructured data management operations facilitating tasks such as reclamation and chargeback. By assigning data ownership, IT organizations can establish a framework for collaboration with the business to address data governance objectives.
According to Anand Naik, director, Technology Sales (India & SAARC), Symantec, Data Insight 3.0 enables our customers to not only identify data owners but also automatically engage them to reduce storage management costs, achieve compliance, and facilitate data protection, thereby increasing the effectiveness of an organizations data governance initiatives.
