Acaveo has recently announced the availability of Smart Information Server 3 to help companies rapidly understand their unstructured data and seize the opportunities of hybrid cloud storage, data classification and security assessment.  

Complementing Microsoft Office 365, OneDrive for Business, SharePoint Server, Windows Server, StorSimple and other services, this new version of Smart Information Server delivers on Acaveo’s strategy of leveraging metadata to centrally audit and manage unstructured data in a hybrid cloud business productivity infrastructure.

Smart Information Server 3 delivers new insights to uncover stale folders and sites, orphaned data, legal hold data, entitlement data maps, group memberships and more.  These and other powerful insights are now available through a simple mode of the software.  

Combined with Acaveo’s recently announced Discover Program, these insights are attainable by companies at low risk and low cost to assist them with quick assessment of their unstructured data as part of larger project initiatives.

Data classification

Smart Information Server 3 includes the ability to audit data classifications, regardless of how they are applied, and to apply classifications to data residing in on-premises and cloud-based repositories according to comprehensive rules in the software.  

Smart Information Server 3’s data classification features include tight integration with Windows Server File Classification Infrastructure for auditing, reporting and applying attributes to data in Windows file shares.  Data classification can yield significant benefits, such as acceleration of migration to the cloud, improved data security, compliance efficiencies and improved ways to manage the organization’s resources.

Smart Information Server 3 adds comprehensive auditing of Active Directory users and groups and their entitlements to unstructured data.  Visualization and reporting of change deltas to identity attributes and group memberships assists with reporting needs for Sarbanes-Oxley compliance. 

Microsoft StorSimple support has been added in Smart Information Server 3 to allow companies to increase their adoption of the Microsoft hybrid cloud.  Smart Information Server is designed for unified visibility and control of unstructured data across the hybrid cloud.
