We create data. We create even more data. Then we back it up, and then we replicate it. Then we do it again onto tertiary storage. & then some more. How many copies of that data has been created? More importantly, how much of that data warranted being copied so many times? How do we apply business value to data which we spend our time & money backing up and replicating for a final archival? Grab your magnifying glass and take a look... it's time to drill down and gain some visibility into what it is we are protecting & replicating.
Indexing and Classification engines have been doing this for quite some time now and are becoming borderline requirements in some organizations. Whether it's to classify data, tag it for standard migration purposes, or for avoiding litigation and fine for compliance reasons, it has become a very useful tool in determining the business value of data. After all, not all data is created equal. How many of you out there are classifying your data to tier it best? This topic is of much interest to me. More to come on who out there is doing it best!
