For the IT organization struggling to find ways to reduce costs, here's an essential starting point: data classification. By rethinking the company's approach to saving data over the long-term, one can make considerable cuts to the IT storage expenditures - without lowering the amount of data protection one has in place. This paper highlights eight steps an organization must tackle when classifying data on the way to implementing a more cost-effective Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) solution. The "ILM cube" is an innovative approach to lifecycle management, providing tiered storage solutions that align the cost of protection to the value and age of the data.
