Frequently Asked Questions

  • Many organizations see tangible benefits within the first 3-6 months of implementation. By identifying unused or redundant data, optimizing storage allocation, and streamlining data management processes, FileCensus typically enables 15-30% reduction in storage costs within the first year. However, the exact timeline and savings can vary based on your organization's size and current storage management practices. Our case studies show examples of customers achieving over $1 million in annual savings for large enterprises.

  • Unlike basic reporting tools, FileCensus provides comprehensive, cross-platform analysis of your entire storage ecosystem. Key differentiators include:

    • Advanced data visualization and custom reporting capabilities

    • Predictive analytics for capacity planning

    • Automated policy enforcement for data lifecycle management

    • Integration capabilities with other IT management tools

    • Ability to analyze data across heterogeneous storage environments FileCensus turns raw storage data into actionable intelligence, enabling strategic decision-making far beyond what basic tools offer.

  • FileCensus is an invaluable tool for cloud migration and hybrid cloud management:

    • It helps identify ideal candidates for cloud migration based on access patterns and data characteristics

    • Provides cost comparisons between on-premises and cloud storage options

    • Enables ongoing optimization of hybrid environments by analyzing data usage across all platforms

    • Supports major cloud providers and can adapt to evolving cloud technologies By providing a unified view of your data across on-premises and cloud storage, FileCensus ensures you can make informed decisions throughout your cloud journey.
