FileTek Trusted Edge for Intelligent Storage Management

FileTek, Inc., has announced Trusted Edge for Intelligent Content Migration. According to the company's news release on PR Web, this is an information classification and asset management solution that locates, classifies, and moves documents stored on network file shares into secure locations within enterprise content and records management systems.

"One of the biggest challenges facing all organizations as they implement content and records management solutions is how to handle the thousands of existing files that reside on shared drives scattered throughout the network. For years, these shared drives have become nothing more than a corporate junk drawer containing a jumbled mixture of critical and nonessential content, and unfortunately, the problem is getting worse with time. The reality is that shared drives are in an escalating state of disarray, and because of the pain factor involved, decluttering them typically remains at the bottom of the IT to-do list.

"In contrast to traditional approaches, Trusted Edge for Intelligent Content Migration painlessly solves the shared drive cleanup dilemma by performing automatic content tagging and reorganization in real-time as the secure migration process occurs. The software intelligently classifies, captures, and relocates only relevant content based on a set of preconfigured, consistent enterprise policies that can be triggered based on file path, file name, file metadata, file type, and even actual file content, thus enabling intelligent decisions about how each item should be migrated and secured. During migration, Trusted Edge tags content with enhanced classification metadata for improved indexing and creates a forensic audit trail that details how each item was processed. This strategy provides added value for users, IT, and legal teams by making it easier for them to utilize, access, and manage critical business assets. It also effortlessly declutters unruly file shares, mitigates litigation and compliance risk, improves the legal hold process, and lowers administration overhead by simplifying file share management."
