Managing stored data is intrinsic to the way a company performs and competes. Today, information is being stored without any regulation or restriction, everyone in the organization creating data without being aware of how much they are saving or that it is space-, time- and money that they are consuming. The impact of large volumes of unstructured data is felt at both a technical level and at an administrative level. More hardware, longer backup- and restore times, more administration, more money…  

In fact, studies put administrative costs at 80% of the overall storage costs, the remaining 20% being hardware costs. The use of an advanced SRM-solution offers the possibility to not only optimize hardware investments but also to reduce these dramatic administration costs.

Northern Storage Suite enables you to:
• know exactly what is stored on devices
• define limits setting quotas on users, folders and volumes
• block unwanted files
• raise awareness and involve users
• plan storage needs and storage costs
• give recommendations and anticipate critical issues

An SRM software solution allows organizations to simplify and centralize data management on storage devices, even in heterogeneous environments, giving the IT team more time to build and maintain an efficient streamlined network for a stronger organization.
