BIG Content – Reduce Large File Share Storage Costs by up to 80%

microsoft certified

Introduction

The biggest traditional “Big Content” problem is the humble shared drive, where shared content is stored. Here, for example, a corporate presentation is stored and it is typical for a person to copy the original, paste it, edit one or two slides and save a new copy. The same slides are stored over and over again. Old presentations are always kept. Everyone has the same problem, but no one has the responsibility of fixing it. Moving forward, the biggest new Big Content problem is rich media and large volumes of video in these shared drives.
