For many years, organizations have followed the advice of their consultants and lawyers and kept all their data, often beyond the mandated retention period. But with data volumes growing to hundreds of terabytes – or even petabytes – this is no longer an option. The financial and time costs of maintaining storage systems for so much data are prohibitive. In addition, much of this data is unknown, posing significant business risks and adding to the time and expense of discovery or investigation exercises.
 
Defensible deletion allows organizations to identify, categorize and manage all their data across multiple geographical locations, applications and storage and archive systems. With this knowledge, an organization can delete any data that has no business value or legal hold requirements. Deleting unneeded data allows organizations to reduce storage management costs, speed up discovery and investigations, switch off obsolete storage systems and tame the Big Data beast.
