Director (Komprise Director)
The Komprise Director is the administrative console of the Komprise distributed architecture that runs as a cloud service. Read the white paper: Komprise Intelligent Data Management Architecture Overview or one of the Komprise TechKrunch videos to learn more.
Komprise simplifies data management by creating a lightweight management plane across all your data silos without getting in the path of data access. Storage and backup vendors that offer analytics require your data to be on their hardware first before they’ll give you these insights. This forces you to make costly investment decisions and move or copy data before you’ve had a chance to first understand it. (If you could, you probably wouldn’t make the same decisions.) Komprise lets you know first, then move smart and take control by providing analytics in place, across your hybrid, multi-cloud storage environments.
Analyze all your data before investing, copying, or moving.
Komprise lets you analyze data across your storage environments without first requiring a move or copy. We do this by connecting to your storage and analyzing your data via standard protocols, such as NFS, SMB or S3. This allows Komprise to analyze your data in-place without needing to import it into a proprietary format. Komprise has no proprietary interfaces, agents, or clients on your storage. Our standards-based approach gives you critical insights into your data—wherever it resides—so you can make the best, most-informed decisions.
Analyze unstructured data usage metrics in hours, not weeks
Most unstructured data management solutions take weeks to crawl and index all your data before they can provide insights on billions of files and petabytes of data. Komprise delivers analytics in hours—even on billions of files—using patented data analytics and aggregation techniques. It simplifies building your data management plan by allowing you to:
- Find files by various criteria such as file types, sizes, owners, top groups, last access time, etc;
- Run “what if” scenarios and get subsequent capacity needs and cost savings in seconds;
- Manage and move your data the way you need, to save the most.
Want to know what would happen if you moved all data untouched in over a year to the cloud? Komprise provides instant analysis based on your data, your costs, and historical data growth patterns.
