FileData Manager 3.0

Manage Globally – Control Locally


FDM Architecture

IT managers face a complex future. With constantly increasing data growth, periodic changes in compliance regulations and recent changes to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure (FRCP) for legal discovery, not only must they manage the IT infrastructure, but also find, protect and classify data residing in the infrastructure. Yet, with data distributed across multiple data centers, remote facilities and branch office locations, this can be an impossible task without a centralized solution.

Abrevity’s FileData Manager software enables federated control and enforcement of classification and data management policies. Use it to set and enforce global, local or even departmental policies:

FileData Manager empowers the IT manager with a single control point for all data policies across the entire enterprise. There's no need to individually access remote FileData Classifier nodes.

FileData Manager 3.0

Centralized Management: Central configuration, policy creation and enforcement

  • Configure and maintain remote FileData Classifier nodes
  • Create, push and enforce data management policies enterprise wide
  • Automate and schedule remote discovery, tagging, and file movement actions

Federated Visibility: Single view into all file data regardless of location

  • Distribute queries to single or multiple FileData Classifier nodes
  • Automatic aggregation of results, statistics and reporting
  • Single point of control for event management and auditing

Local Control: Command FileData Classifiers to perform work locally in remote locations

  • Scanning, tagging, extraction and file movement performed where the data resides
  • Only status and statistics are sent over the WAN to the FileData Manager console
  • Empower local IT personnel to develop and enforce local or departmental policies


Manage up to a Petabyte with FileData Manager

FileData Manager enables scalability by centrally managing hundreds of terabytes to a petabyte of data locally controlled by FileData Classifier nodes. Leveraging Abrevity's unique distributed application framework and patent-pending Entity Database™ technology, FileData Manager can empower true global data management.

FileData Manager together with FileData Classifier forms the only Information Classification & Management solution suite architected to meet stringent enterprise-class requirements for scalability, flexibility, reliability and performance, while enforcing file management policies based on business value. They provide a complete data classification solution for any enterprise: the first ICM solution with the ability to manage hundreds of terabytes to petabytes of data across multiple geographically-distributed locations. Typical alternatives do not scale beyond a single location.

"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."
