DATA ARCHIVE
A data archive is an active repository intended to capture and contain digital information at an organizational management level. Archive solutions today are available for on-premise, hosted, and cloud based needs. Paradise Canyon will be an active partner with you to deploy and leverage the solution that best fits your needs.
How archives have been used (but not limited to);
Collection, de-duplication, compression, retention, disposition, and maintenance of loosely structured and unmanaged data, to become a long term controlled reference and retrieval point of data
- Once under archive, replacement of original files with a smaller shortcut to reference the archive
- Typical data types for archive capture include;
- Email messages and attachments
- Files and data stored in centralized and decentralized drives and stores
- SharePoint content that is not under managed control
- Enabling, enacting, enforcing, and proving organizational governance policies on corporately controlled data
- An effective governance policy (as influenced by internal needs and/or external regulatory and governmental controls) should be defined by an organization
- Satisfying requests of compliance to governance, regulatory,legal statutes and orders, and litigation response requirements
- Deep keyword index and search as a retrievable repository of data servicing multiple business needs
- Early case assessment resource and search solution for legal and regulatory purposes
- End user search and retrieval portals and applications for self-service enablement
