Fordway - Data infrastructure specialists

Do you have volumes of unstructured, scattered and ever-increasing data?

In recent years both the volume and types of data that organisations  now hold have grown exponentially. In many cases, organisations  are struggling under the volume of unstructured and ever-growing data sitting in random locations across their systems, unable to say exactly what data they have, where it is or what purpose it serves. This seriously affects efficiency and wastes valuable disk space. In addition, there is the extra management time, not least the many hours staff spend backing up mounds of useless data.

Data analysis involves assessing all the data an organisation  holds, deciding what to keep and where it goes, to store and manage it according to business value and designing procedures to handle  newly created data efficiently. Fordway’s data analysis procedures, based on many years of experience, focus on two main areas:

• data classification
• data retention
