Adaptive & Dynamic ILM
Information Lifecycle Management (ILM)

Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) strategies are increasingly applied within organizations to resolve the challenges of information management. Poorly managed information significantly impacts performance, slowing business processes. Alternatively, the ability to effectively archive, retrieve, and dispose off information generated by various users and applications, will ultimately accelerate business processes workflow and improve operational efficiencies.

Information often changes in value as it moves through its lifecycle. However, these changes typically do not always occur in a linear fashion. Information management, therefore, should be constantly adapting to changes in business requirements that define the present value of information.

KOM Networks flexible ILM solution dynamically adapts to changes and automatically manages data to meet an organization's storage requirements.

ILM policies are built around the following main questions:

• What File(s),
• Where to Store, and
• When to Migrate.

Once identified, File Lifecycle policies automatically assign protection and retention policies that manage, control and preserve files from creation until final disposition. The real time policy engine adapts dynamically to changes in demand and storage requirements. Automated data migration policies manage storage tiers and locations of files throughout their existence.

KOM Networks ILM provides organizations with the following benefits:
