The nature of data storage management is rapidly changing. The traditional business of storing, securing, retrieving and analyzing an organization’s data was a well understood and stable exercise that evolved from the management of mainframe data, or in the distributed world, database data.

In today’s business environment, demand for data storage has been growing at an exponential rate, with the biggest growth area being Unstructured Data. According to IDC over 95 per cent of the digital universe is Unstructured Data and according to Gartner, 85 per cent of all new business information created within organizations is Unstructured Data. Changes in  the type of data stored and stringent regulatory obligations demand a new approach to store, secure and manage corporate information.

Njini is the first company to deliver an integrated storage solution that automatically generates indexes for data files, and uses that index to drive real time business policy. Njini’s Network File Control (NFC) solution provides organizations the ability to take total control of Unstructured Data across their data storage environments. By providing a single point of "command and control" for Unstructured Data, Njini enables the delivery of a common set of network resident file services, centrally defined and managed via policy, and then applied across a heterogeneous storage environment. All this without changes to either the user’s desktop hardware, data center hardware, or to established procedures for backup, data security, disaster recovery and high availability.

(Network file management and control services are a key component of the File Area Network (FAN) reference model that was recently adopted by SNIA, the Storage Networking Industry Association.)

At one touch, an organization implementing Njini’s technology can radically change the economics of its storage management by: optimizing the degree of space required to store data; taking advantage of cheap near-line storage solutions without disrupting end user work flows; enforce regulatory compliance as a matter of course in the infrastructure; and, offer a corporation a way to effectively categorize and search their data.

Njini’s experienced management team has a history of founding and leading innovative, high technology companies from inception into industry prominence.  They benefit from a board of directors and a community of shareholders equally experienced in building industry-defining business. These include Accel Partners, who led investments in Veritas, Remedy and UUNET; Intel Capital, a pillar of the information economy and the world’s largest investor in high growth technology companies, and Add Partners, one of Europe’s most experienced and progressive technology venture firms. Strong financing, industry partnership and the vision and experience of the Njini management team, positions Njini to lead the industry in addressing the enormous challenges in information storage management.
