Data Governance News & Articles

Last fall, Queplix brought a layer of virtualization to your data. With its Virtual Data Manager, users can see their data across various systems, giving access to the bigger picture. But what happens when one of those systems gets out-of-date or, even worse, becomes a relic of data management? What happens to all the data that lived there?

Varonis has launched a new version of its DatAdvantage solution, which extends its data governance capabilities to unstructured data in UNIX environments. DatAdvantage 3.5 provides visibility to and enables auditing for data held in UNIX repositories, ensuring that such data is accessible for appropriate business activities only.

The move marks a significant evolution of the DatAdvantage product, which hitherto could only be applied to Windows environments. Users can now manage unstructured data from both environments from a single interface. The technology provides visibility for any UNIX file server, gathers user data from NIS, LDAP and local machine accounts, and grabs event data from Network Appliance filers and Sun Solaris v8, v9, and v10 file servers.
