If you’re like the average environment DefendX Software assesses, 60-90% of your unstructured file data is a candidate for archiving.

We all know that unstructured file data is growing out of control and needs to be managed.  But what is the best approach? It really comes down to understanding the numbers behind the file data so you can make the right decision for your storage environment.
