Njini Network File Control
Njini’s Network File Control solution enables organizations to identify and capture the business value of information assets and unstructured data files at their point of origin and employ real-time data management policies, to ensure the alignment of information with the business. By identifying and capturing business value and applying real-time data management policies, Njini is able to determine: -

• How important the information and data is to the business
• What storage tier or platform information and data should be placed upon
• What type of information and data should be stored and what shouldn’t
• Who should be able to access it, change it or delete it and when
• How many copies should be held and on which storage tiers or platforms
• How long it should be held before being moved to another storage tier or archive

Key to Njini’s unique value proposition is that these centralized and automated information and data management policies operate transparently to the user, thus enabling Njini to simplify the storage management of information assets and unstructured data dramatically.

With Njini, organizations are able to optimize the use of valuable storage resources, address information security risks and meet the ever changing compliance requirements associated with managing information in today’s demanding environments.

Njini’s Network File Control protects your legacy investments by operating transparently, across existing file servers, storage devices and network infrastructure and transforms the existing LAN infrastructure into a File Area Network (FAN) Network File Control

Njini Policy Engine
Njini uses real-time policy execution to automatically identify information and unstructured data files (both textual and bitmapped) at their point of origin to capture their business value and manage objects as their value changes throughout their lifecycle.

The Njini Engine interrogates each file at its point of origin then encapsulates the business value of the file within its meta-data database such that it is able to determine: -

• What kind of file is it?
• Who created it?
• What user group are they in?
• What key words does it contain?

Njini’s NFC then uses what it knows about the file (the content derived extensible meta-data) and the user profile (who has access to the file) to apply a set of real-time, centralised data management policies to each new file as it is created, allowing organizations to truly identify, capture and utilize the inherent business value in each new piece of information and data as it is created.
