Agree on metadata types to automate classification

The key imperative for enabling data classification is automation of the creation of metadata. The first and most important step is to agree on metadata types, and the layout and structure of each type of metadata. This type of metadata management will reduce corporate risk and add incremental value to the business by allowing data to be rapidly searched, shared and mined.

Financial giant goes green

The corporate IT group of a very large, worldwide financial organization with 100,000 employees, has initiated an ongoing “greening” process. This is focused largely on reducing energy use both to decrease the corporation's carbon footprint while creating a net savings in operational costs over the lifetime of new, more energy-efficient equipment, including new storage systems.

Planning a Green Storage Initiative

Fluctuating energy prices have heightened electricity and energy consumption as a major issue within the technology community. IT is a significant consumer of energy and IT energy costs have been rising disproportionately because of continued investment in denser IT equipment. Estimates from the EPA and others indicate that IT will account for 3% of energy consumption by 2012.
