Use the cloud to transform your file storage
Get in control of data storage
Understanding, managing and securing unstructured data on enterprise storage systems whilst finding ways to reduce your operational and capital costs, can present significant challenges to organisations of every size.
The cloud is your opportunity to do storage differently.

- Policy-based retention management
- Policy-based storage tiering
- Powerful eDiscovery
- Tiered storage economics
- Continuous data protection
- Tight security & compliance features
- PII identification
Shrink Your Storage Costs With HubStor.
Microsoft Azure storage offers three storage tiers that can be used according to the data you need to store:
- The HOT tier is optimised for storing active data that is accessed frequently.
- The COOL tier is best for storing inactive data that is infrequently accessed and stored for at least six months.
- The ARCHIVE tier is best for storing cold data that is rarely accessed and possibly stored for years.
The challenge lies in how to take the best advantage of these tiers, both initially as you upload your data, and over time, as your data usage patterns change over time.
By introducing HubStor for Azure into your storage infrastructure, you can automatically and seamlessly manage your storage using the most appropriate tiers according to the data being stored.
- Active
- Inactive
- Very inactive!

Profile your storage
Start auditing your storage in line with your strategy: analyse ‘dark data’, including stale data on file shares and SharePoint. Identify what can be defensibly deleted, and understand the best options for future storage, management and protection.
Shrink your storage costs
Migrate and delete data accordingly and start seeing cost savings.
Reporting and monitoring throughout the process will give you peace of mind that everything is going to plan.
