DATA ANALYSIS

3. Minima, Inc. Confidential3
Minima has indexed 103 TB of primary data from 52
sources in the Sample Co. West Data Center. This
sample has offered the following insights:
35% of data
hasn’t been accessed in over 3 years.
This is greater than the typical amount of cold data for
similar organizations, and is causing a large amount of
cold data to reside on primary enterprise storage.
59% of data
hasn’t been accessed in over 1 year.
Data Usage

4. Minima, Inc. Confidential4
99% of your total data contains no
sensitive information based on the
configured and extracted sensitive types.
Additional analysis is recommended
based on classification and content
analysis.
27 users in your organization are
responsible for virtually all the highly
sensitive data.
Data Sensitivity
0.95% of your data is sensitive
of which 1/3 is highly sensitive.

5. Minima, Inc. Confidential5
An exposure review and
lockdown should be completed
by the owners of highly
sensitive data.
Data Exposure
84%
of your sensitive data is
moderately or highly exposed

6. Minima, Inc. Confidential6
Data Ownership
Data ownership is dominated by the organizations reporting to
Donna Mitchell and Thomas Cooper while activity and growth
are driven by the organizations reporting to Jason Ward and
Brian Bryant.
This is commonly an indication of change in business initiatives
or usage patterns or adoption of SaaS Cloud Storage services
such as Google Docs or Box.
15% of data is orphaned with its users no longer in Active
Directory and an additional 10% is highly likely to be orphaned
given low activity seen by the users owning the data.
15% of your data is orphaned

7. Minima, Inc. Confidential7
Minima has indexed 52 sources. Your top four
sources account for 75% of your data. Here is
a distribution of data by usage across the top
four sources.
Data Sources
Your top four sources
account for 75% of your data

8. Minima, Inc. Confidential8
Your organization is heavy on media files which is expected
given the nature of your business.
Additionally PSTs account for a significant amount of total
storage but are on the decline indicating users are adopting
other email archival and management processes.
Data Types
Media files are your dominant file type

FORECASTING

10. Minima, Inc. Confidential10
Minima has observed a 57% annualized data
growth rate in your unstructured data. This is
above average but not out of line with
companies of your size and complexity.
A 57% annual compounding growth rate
means that in five years’ time (2021) you will
have 987 TB of primary data. That represents
a greater than 9.5x increase over today’s data.

A nine fold increase in primary data means an
explosion in storage demands. Not only do you need
to store the primary data, but backup and replicas
will be growing as well.
Assuming standard backup, redundancy, and
replication policies, and utilization cap of 70%, you
will need a total of 5.5 Petabytes of raw capacity in
2021 to store your data.

This does not include
the person-hours,

rent to house and
maintain the storage
hardware, nor the time

the increasingly
frequent upgrades and
migrations.

Hardware and related expenses will total

OPPORTUNITIES

14. Minima, Inc. Confidential14
A low-cost PetaByte-capacity storage vault that allows you to
store, search, and retrieve data with no Capex investment or
additional on-premises management overhead.
First Class Archive
A first class archive allows you to
store, search, browse & retrieve objects.

15. Minima, Inc. Confidential15
Your 57% annual data growth rate is creating a
demand for storage capacity that your budget
probably isn’t ready for. Over the next five years
you can expect to pay $5.77 Million in cap-ex alone
if you continue with a traditional storage strategy.
Although the price of storage is coming down, the
growth in data outpaces these price reductions.
Our model takes into account decreasing per TB
hardware expenses, and your budgetary demands
are still projected to grow at a staggering rate.

The real challenge of a high data
growth rate is hiding in plain
sight: Backups and Replica. Not
only are you storing cold data
within your primary data, you’re
storing it multiple times which is
eating up a substantial amount
of capacity and driving up
utilization and eating budget.
A First Class Primary Archive
allows you to focus your backup,
replica, and disaster recovery
policies on the data that
matters, and store cold data in a
secure place vault.

Archival will reduce on-prem data by 59%
and reduce total data by 46%
