Symantec Data Insight 3.0

Symantec has announced Symantec Data Insight 3.0, the latest version of its solution that improves information governance by providing intelligence into ownership and usage of unstructured data. Data Insight 3.0 now features a new integration point with Veritas Storage Foundation 6.0. Customers using Storage Foundation for file serving can now leverage Data Insight for their data management needs.  It also enhances operations for NetApp network attached storage (NAS) and expands coverage to support both CIFS and NFS protocols.

"NetApp and Symantec are committed to delivering innovative solutions that help our mutual customers employ new strategies to manage, retain and protect growing data volumes. The combined strengths of Symantec Data Insight integrated with NetApp's high-performance storage systems enables organizations to better understand who owns information, how it is being accessed, and how it is being used to accelerate the business. This in-depth understanding helps customers efficiently manage data growth, make better decisions and drive successful business outcomes at the speed of today's business," said Chris Cummings, Vice- President, Products and Solutions Marketing, NetApp.

"Most of the data organizations generate today is in the unstructured format. Identifying owners of this unstructured data is one of the biggest challenges facing organizations. Data Insight 3.0 enables our customers to not only identify data owners but also automatically engage them to reduce storage management costs, achieve compliance, and facilitate data protection, thereby increasing the effectiveness of an organization's data governance initiatives," said Anand Naik, Director, Technology Sales (India & SAARC), Symantec.
