Archive Management

Most organizations are facing rapid growth of business information, whether it is either in structured form as records stored in database or it is in unstructured form as files stored on server and desktop personal computers. The business information has a specific life cycle that it goes through which includes the following steps, creating updating, archiving, retaining, and deleting. After some time, the information becomes dormant and may not be needed for day to day business needs. However, for statistical, historical, or regulatory compliance reasons, it may be necessary to retain the information for several years. This necessitates the clean up of dormant information to free up the operational database or file systems space.
