Moonwalk is an Enterprise Data Management system that allows companies to minimize storage expenditure while maximizing existing storage infrastructure.
Extending the capability of traditional HSM technology, Moonwalk places unstructured data into perspective by intelligently relocating files to and from various storage locations, depending on the value of that data.
Moonwalk works by allowing you to deploy a set of policies for classifying and migrating data, and it makes certain that these centrally configured policies will be distributed and enforced right to the edge of the network. It’s also network-aware and data-centric, so it allows for data management by project, location, user, group, size, name, time and other customer defined attributes, making complex datasets easier to express in simple data management policies.
It allows you to find data, allocate destinations, set rules and policies and run tasks – all from a single administrator interface that lets you manage your data from the inside, drilling down to information easily and swiftly.
Files can then be stored according to business value, and retrieved seamlessly whenever policies are issued. And by using Moonwalk, IT administrators can restructure their file systems transparently to the users, behind the scenes. They can also sweep their network for banned file types such as mp3 files, .WAV and .exe files, and take appropriate action.
