The NetApp Solution

The goal of any Information Lifecycle Management strategy is to ensure data is continuously reassessed throughout its entire lifecycle while keeping storage management costs under control.

The strategy should allow intelligent decisions to be made about how the information within a business is managed.

NetApp views ILM in 2 parts, Data classification - type of data, owner of data, size, time since modification etc, and Data management - a "decision engine" that applies a policy to data depending on how the data has been classified.

The NetApp ILM solution incorporates the NetApp family of primary and nearline storage in partnership with software leaders for each data type (whether it be structured, semi-structured, or unstructured) along with specialised NetApp software for robust data classification across NetApp systems.
