THE PROFILE
THE CHALLENGE
The company provides many services such as studies and marine surveys around the world with 2 locations in Canada. They were having difficulty with a significant amount of data growth. IT managers did not have the time to deal with this issue within their 100 TB infrastructure capacity.
They needed a solution to:
- Delegate the responsibility of this issue through a secure tool to end-users
- Identify which data to keep or remove
- Find a way to empower users with the creation and deletion of data
- Search for files and folders in different locations
- Optimize working methods to reduce unnecessary data creation
THE SOLUTION
Within 3-months, they deployed DataIntell in their facility and trained their users to look at data scattered in their 2 offices. This tool gave them a single pane of glass of all data for their multi-facilities infrastructure. With DataIntell, their users were able to find duplicate and unused files while quickly and safely monitoring a daily progression of the optimization of their storage usage.
THE RESULTS
Initial situation:
- Total storage usage: 73.07 TB with 5 782 118 files
- Duplicate files: 34.14 TB which represented 47% of their storage
After only One Month:
- Total storage usage: 59.21 TB with 4 960 947 files
- Duplicate files: 19.46 TB which represents 33% of their storage
In less than a month, the company got rid of almost 15 TB of duplicate files and gained 13 TB of storage capacity. This represents a reduction of 18% in total usage.
