File Share Content Analysis

File share content analysis

Do your employees have the freedom to freely store content in various network locations? If so, then your file shares or network drives are most likely polluted with a large volume of Redundant, Obsolete, and Trivial (ROT) content. Research by Xillio shows that an average of 22% of all folders on a file share are empty and over 39% of all files are duplicates. 

The presence of ROT content on your network can impact the following:

• Technical features: it creates an unstable network environment;
• Operational functionalities: leads to poor document availability;
• Legal guidelines: lack of oversight of highly sensitive documentations, that may lead to being non-compliant with legal guidance and procedurals
• Resource misallocation: unnecessary storage and maintenances cost, that eventually will increase over time.
