Manage data across multiple locations and geographies

Within the StoredIQ Intelligent Information Management Platform, the StoredIQ Federated Master Appliance delivers federated search, classification, tagging, litigation hold and centralized appliance management features. The StoredIQ Federated Master Appliance allows organizations whose information management needs stretch beyond a single appliance or single geographic location to have unprecedented visibility into distributed data environments and centralized management of multiple StoredIQ appliances.

The StoredIQ Federated Master Appliance centralizes, unifies and expands federation capabilities into a single management device with the following functionality:

  • Centralized searching, classification management and data object tagging.  Users can search, classify and tag data objects across multiple distributed appliances as though all the object data was contained on a single appliance. These features allow customers to precisely search and apply consistent classifications and tags across a wide variety of enterprise data systems including file, email, document management and enterprise archiving systems.
  • Federation administration interface. Centralized administration is now available for all appliances within the same federation, simplifying appliance administration and implementation of corporate level policies across geographically distributed appliances. Having one easy-to-use interface to manage multiple globally distributed appliances improves administrative efficiency.
  • Centralized federated litigation hold. Management of federated litigation holds, enabling robust centralized preservation of electronic data for litigation matters that span multiple geographic locations is supported within the StoredIQ federated solution. Federated litigation hold automates the collection and preservation of responsive data across multiple sites, reducing the risk of spoliation and potential sanctions by improving efficiency and effectiveness within the eDiscovery process.
  • Global visibility and access. Global metrics and reports are available from the StoredIQ Federation Management Appliance that provide unprecedented visibility and access to data across geographically distributed sites. With over 250 out-of-the-box attributes available for capturing and acting on unstructured data, StoredIQ offers the largest set of globally federated metadata for creating reports and metrics that span the enterprise.
