Managing Diverse File Types at Scale

Engineering firms face the overarching challenge of managing and deriving value from rapidly growing volumes of complex, unstructured data. They must be efficient while ensuring compliance, collaboration, and cost savings across distributed project environments.  

Engineering and design firms generate unstructured data at massive scale, especially from CAD, GIS, and 3D modeling files. Increasingly, firms are collecting and storing diverse data types such as simulation outputs, sensor and telemetry data, video and drone footage and project documents such as PDFs. 

Data growth is unpredictable and certain data types such as CAD files and geospatial data are large and difficult to manage, especially across distributed teams and inherited legacy systems from M&A activity. These firms need to preserve historical project data for reference, liability, reuse and AI.  

Komprise gives us visibility across our storage and manages data at a fraction of the cost.

Use Cases

Cold Data Tiering

Komprise can help data storage administrators and enterprise IT teams identify project files one year of age or older to archival storage on premises or in the cloud for safekeeping. Data can be accessed from its original location, without filing a help desk ticket, using Komprise Dynamic Links.

Project Scoping and Design

Komprise Deep Analytics allows IT users to support departments by locating site data across directories and shares, such as permits and regulations, soil tests or other environmental data, which is critical to creating the right design for new construction. Users can apply new metadata to data sets, manually or with tools. This aids future searches and data classification efforts for AI.

KEY BENEFITS FOR ENGINEERING DATA MANAGEMENT

Full Visibility Across Diverse Data & Storage 

Get insights into your data across storage silos, vendors, and technologies so you can understand how to manage different data types according to current and future needs. Komprise Deep Analytics provides a Global File Index for a unified view of your data across all your hybrid cloud storage environments.

 

Rapid Data Movement 

Migrate and tier data to new storage faster and stay in complete control of your data. Komprise Transparent Move Technology moves data with no disruption or impact to user or app access and no vendor lock-in that results in rehydration costs. 

Make Informed Decisions for Unstructured Data Management

 With Komprise unstructured data analytics, you can: 

  • Gain understanding of data usage and trends to aid planning. 
  • Tailor storage policies for different projects and user groups. 
  • Conduct “what-if” policy scenarios to see the benefits pre-deployment. 
  • Identify data that is stored out of compliance such as PII data or personal video files. 
Prepare Data for AI

Use Komprise Smart Data Workflows to build automated data pipelines that search, tag, and move sensitive data to locations where it cannot be ingested by AI, while feeding the right data to AI pipelines. The Komprise Global File Index gives IT and departmental users the ability to add metadata tags for context and security, either manually or through API integration to AI scanning and inspection tools. 

 

Learn how Komprise can help engineering and semiconductor enterprise IT teams take better control of your firm’s data, optimize data storage costs, and prepare and deliver the right unstructured data to AI services with governance.
