Petabytes of files. Almost no one knows what's in them.
Network file shares, SharePoint sites, departmental NAS — petabytes of accumulated documents, spreadsheets, contracts, presentations, and unstructured content. Most of it untouched in years. Storage costs scale with volume. Sensitive data hides in plain sight. Regulatory holds depend on knowing what's there.
The 2026 answer: illuminate the dark data through AI-powered classification. Solix Intelligent Classification analyzes content at scale, applies your taxonomy, tags sensitive information, and archives everything into a governed Preservation Zone where Content Intelligence makes it queryable through Data Ask.
The file-archive economics
- Tiered storage reduces primary file-server cost dramatically.
- Defensible deletion of redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) content.
- Sensitive-data discovery for GDPR, CCPA, and industry regulations.
- Decades of documents become AI-queryable, not just searchable.
Content intelligence, end to end.
