Information Lifecycle

• The most visible negative effect of the vast and mushrooming amount of content is cost – of hardware and software and the personnel needed to support it-a problem exacerbated by the common practice of treating all information as “mission-critical” and therefore to be support by the best, highly performing, most reliable technology.

• ILM promises to align a company’s information storage infrastructure with it Business Needs

– Under SMAPP, the system looks at all access paths to determine how it can meet the specified target times for recovering access paths. It may not choose to protect an access path that you consider critical.

– When the system determines how to meet the target times for recovering access paths, it considers only access paths that are not explicitly journaled.
