What the Analysts Say
Over the last few years, data has ballooned in enterprises to staggering proportions, and the need to classify and manage it has grown as a result. It is not at all unusual for IT to be expected to manage terabytes of data. Abrevity’s distributed solution is ideal for addressing such massive amounts of data enabling them to succeed at this prodigious task.
— Laura DuBois, Research Director, IDC
"If you can't see or find data, you just can't manage it. Today enterprises are required to manage data located in diverse remote locations just as though it were contained on a single disk drive at one central location. Only products like Abrevity can provide both the visibility and accuracy across multiple locations to accomplish acceptable data management scalability and performance."
— Mike Karp, Senior Analyst, Enterprise Management Associates
Today’s enterprises are faced with a growing need to find regulatory audit and legal discovery data quickly and accurately. Searching and finding potential responsive evidence through terabytes of geographically-dispersed data under the new eDiscovery Rules timeline can be a daunting task. There is a need for solutions that automate this process while scaling up effectively to match the data volume growth and providing acceptable performance results. Abrevity’s 3.0 release is intended to address this need.
