DATA ARCHIVE

  • Definition

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.

  • Use Cases

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
