Business Benefits ofNovell® File Management Suite


How many orphaned folders are on the network?

How many TB of MP3s?

How many documents haven't been accessed in the six months? The last year?

How many redundant files are stored?

Do you know...?

Do you know how much space the files above take up on your network?

How much does it cost to power and cool?

How much time are you spending backing up?

Understanding your data better is the first step to rationalizing it

Policy • Robust, customizable policies based on your business• Enforce and ensure proper governance of network file storage

• Operate at the file, folder, and file system level

Automation • Automate tasks along the full lifecycle: from provision to delete or vault
