AIMstor Block and Track
Track Overview
Because Humans Are Unpredictable
People can surprise us with their integrity, or lack thereof. For that reason, IT managers can gain great insight into potential trouble spots within the employee ranks by utilizing AIMstor's Track functionality.
Forensic level understanding of all touches to data, over time, with real-time capture is great, but often intrusive. Not with AIMstor. As part of the typical data protection policy, you can assign Track to certain classifications of data (Excel files for instance). You can observe who is doing what, and when, along a specified time line.
- I need to track file histories
- AIMstor Version is data "touch aware" and Tracking can be easily implemented in any Version policy. For the full retention of yoru data, you will be able to see who within the policy group has touched, modified, copied, moved or deleted specific data.
- I need to search the Archive
- AIMstor is built with search engine technology. AIMstor provides an interface to our powerful Metadata Store which can be queried very easily, bringing up full sets of Versions with their full histories, and even with Tracking logs.
- I must capture all file changes
- File versions captured by backup products or even the OS (operating system) come with considerable risk, as they do not capture data in real-time. But AIMstor does, and our Version operation captures all the changes that backup or OS snapshots that occur every few hours will surely miss. AIMstor will capture and track the file changes and the activity log, to the second.
- I need to Auto-Classify my Versions
- AIMstor classifies data the moment it is created. File Versioning can be triggered the moment data is created or changed, or when a policy is created or changed.
AIMstor’s Block function provides much needed control over storage resources by creating barriers to certain data, executables, or even USB storage devices for removing data from the organization. Eliminating the ability to put certain data types (such as movies) on shared storage servers can help greatly reduce used capacity, and employer liabilities – across the entire storage environment.
Configuration of AIMstor Version takes seconds, and can be easily mixed together with other Operations, such as Backup, Replication, Versioning for Archive, Compliance and Information Security requirements, and more. The result is an unmatched ability to create and implement comprehensive, closed-loop, end-to-end policies in minutes. AIMstor Block is a sole-use Operation that is done for specifically targeted policies.
