Egnyte's data lifecycle management can help you effectively manage the preservation, archival, and deletion of data, across repositories, to eliminate storage costs and comply with changing regulations.

Data Lifecycle ManagementAutomate Retention, Archival & Deletion
Put AI to work managing high volumes of data and mitigate business risk
Enterprises house millions of files, accessed by thousands of users, making it daunting to define, manage and manually enforce data policies. Regulations like HIPAA, FINRA, and GDPR complicate things further with detailed (and often conflicting) policies on how long personal data should be kept.
Today, “keep everything” is no longer a viable data lifecycle management strategy. It is costly and inefficient, and opens companies up to massive risk in the event of a breach. Egnyte can help you effectively manage the preservation, archival, and deletion of data, across repositories, to eliminate storage costs and comply with changing regulations.

Reduce cost of storing, managing, and maintaining data.
Eliminating old and redundant files can save companies millions in storage costs and reduced risk. Egnyte’s data minimization cuts costs associated with compliance fines and data breaches up to 50%.
You create the policies, AI does the heavy lifting.
Easily create retention, archive, and deletion policies based on folder location, keywords, metadata, or sensitive content, like PII. Policies run in the background, delivering peace of mind without disrupting users.
