Manage, Analyze and Protect Big Data Efficiently

Gartner estimates that over 80% of enterprise data is unstructured. Much of this data resides in shared folders on file servers and NAS devices throughout the enterprise. The increasing number of company teams, combined with additional management and security requirements, cause the number of data containers to increase proportionately faster than the information we are storing in them. Each data set and container needs to be protected. Access control, the rules governing access to this data, is broken within most enterprises.

As a result, organizations cannot answer critical questions about their data:

■■ Who has access?■■ Who is accessing it?■■ Who should have access?■■ Who owns it?■■ Which data is sensitive?■■ Where is data overexposed?

Solution ComponentsStore and Protect

The Hitachi NAS Platform is an advanced and integrated network attached storage (NAS) solution. It is a powerful tool for file sharing as well as file server consolidation, data protec-tion and business critical NAS workloads. With our NAS platforms, you can solve challenges associated with data growth while achieving a low total cost of ownership.

Harness the Power of Metadata

The Varonis Metadata Framework nonintru-sively collects critical metadata and generates metadata where existing metadata is lacking (for example, its file system filters and content inspection technologies). It preprocesses the metadata, normalizes it, analyzes it, stores it, and presents it to IT administrators in an interactive, dynamic interface. Once data owners are identified, they are empowered to

■■ Support complete governance on Hitachi NAS Platform, (in addition to Microsoft Windows® and UNIX systems, other NAS devices, SharePoint and Exchange).■■ Identify and lock down exposed sensitive data, optimize authorization, audit use, alert on abuse.■■ Identify and empower data owners to control authorization and entitlement review activities through automation.■■ Provide private cloud access to Hitachi NAS Platform CIFS data via HTTPS, using existing storage and existing authentication, and enforcing existing permissions.■■ Automate migration and disposition or retention of data based on metadata. ■■ Employ a powerful, hardware-accelerated file system that represents the next generation of multiprotocol file services, dynamic provisioning, intelligent tiering, virtualization and cloud infrastructure.■■ Achieve high performance: up to 1.6GB/sec and 200,000 input/outputs per second (IOPS) per node.■■ Work with high scalability: up to 16PB of usable capacity.
