HP has unveiled a new Intelligent Retention and Content Management solution that combines its HP StoreAll, HP ControlPoint and HP Records Manager products. It is designed to enable organisations to intelligently manage data throughout its lifecycle.

It includes the HP Haven big data analytics platform as its core, to provide insight into enterprise information.

HP promises a unified software and hardware solution that extends the concept of file analysis by comprehensively capturing, analysing, managing, and retaining content in a completely secure environment.

This enables the identification and automatic classification of valuable content within enterprise systems such as file shares, email and Microsoft SharePoint - according to policy to improve data accuracy and staff productivity.

Inactive but valuable content can be moved from tier 1 storage and migrated to StoreAll where it will be retained as a secure and possibly immutable (WORM) archive.

HP ControlPoint facilitates deletion of content with no business or legal value (redundant, obsolete and trivial content) based on policy to reduce overall storage requirements and cost. HP Records Manager allows for the long-term management of content to meet retention and compliance requirements at the file level.

Pricing of the HP Intelligent Retention and Content Management solution is is based on the amount of information managed by terabyte.
