Aparavi transforms data chaos into intelligent information availability that fuels innovation and accelerates knowledge.

We put you in control of your data with knowledge and break down silos. With Aparavi, you can now manage and have insight into the state, placement, and availability of your data to address information continuity, cost, and compliance without compromise.

Historically it has been very difficult to manage the overall lifecycle of growing data volumes. For years service providers have been advising clients to keep three copies of their data, in two different media types with one off-site copy (3-2-1) for a more effective data protection strategy.

Today organizations are left with multiple copies of different data sets that are unstructured in several locations, leaving PII information exposed and vulnerable to unauthorized users.

Join Adam Smith, Director of Partner Sales and Programs, and Shawn Lieu, Technical Director at Aparavi, and learn how to: 

* Understand the three pillars of data intelligence and automation with Aparavi
* The Aparavi Assessment Program
* Expanded MSP service offerings

Unknown data is living…and growing…in your infrastructure and is your company’s most aggressive competitor. Why? Because it’s blowing up your budget and putting you in tremendous risk of potential compliance fines and security breaches. You can’t imagine the risk…because it’s unknown. It’s dark data…and it’s there. Join Richard Stiennon, Research Analyst, and Gary Lyng, CMO with Aparavi for a lively discussion on the real challenges companies face as unknown data grows at astronomical rates. We’ll teach you where (& how) to shine the light to reveal what type of data lurks in your infrastructure, and what this knowledge can mean for you and your company.

     ~ Know your data
     ~ Take out the trash data
     ~ Don’t pay ransom for your data

It's 10PM.  Do You Know Where Your Data Is?

Many organizations now have a “Cloud Smart or Cloud First” mandate or methodology to help reduce the costs of on-premises storage. Moving data to the cloud has always been a challenge, moving Terabytes or Petabytes to the cloud is not only tedious for any organization, but very costly. The data moving to the cloud also holds immense risk. Having only the valuable, regulated, or critical data separated from the redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data can create immediate cost savings, reduce risk, and significantly reduce the amount of data moving to the cloud. This ROT data can consume as much as 60% of the average enterprise storage hardware. Aparavi finds and identifies your data so you can eliminate ROT data and move the critical data to the cloud.

Join Darryl Richardson, Chief Platform Evangelist at Aparavi, and David Clark, Founder and Managing Partner of Allegiant Strategies Group and former Deputy Chief of Staff to Florida Governor Ron DeSantis for an important discussion about how state government organizations and other enterprises can accelerate data migration to the cloud, and:
• Find your data with intelligent automation
• Optimize storage by eliminating ROT data
•	Identifying and eliminating data silos
•	Reduce costs and risks

The Future of Data Storage Optimization: Intelligent Data Migration to the Cloud

Small to medium sized businesses should not feel left out of the tech solutions discussion – you can afford to migrate to the cloud, virtualize your environment, build risk management solutions, as well as reap the full benefits of an ERP. Enterprise-grade solutions are available for reasonable costs with simple implementation and long-lasting results.
 
Join Derek Nwamadi, CEO and President, Quantum-Symphony, and Darryl Richardson, Chief Evangelist, Aparavi for a discussion about how companies can truly know their data and build a sustainable holistic tech roadmap.

Stay ahead of the Cyberbullies. Minimize Your Risk and Maximize Your Protection.

Today more than 345,000 ExaBytes of data currently reside in tape storage systems. Tapes have continued to be an issue with legacy storage of regulated data. Data that simply cannot be deleted but does not need to be stored on primary or secondary storage. With the cost of disk storage and cloud storage becoming the new targets for major backup vendors, Tape usage has been in a downward spiral for 10 years. But tapes still contain valuable information. How do you get the information off of tape, and into a storage repository that allows you to search and parse valuable assets from the junk data? 

Join Patrick Vaughan of GEN3i Migration Corp, Darryl Richardson, Chief Platform Evangelist of Aparavi, as they discuss an easy and cost-effective solution for the tape challenge, allowing full management of this data, so you can understand what the data is, then act on the data to protect it per regulation.

The Abyss of Tape Data Storage

Petabytes and petabytes of data are keeping local and state governments in flux with the constant challenge of trying to stay on top of their ever-increasing data in order to reduce risk from cyberattacks and to control overall costs of storing data. Well, there is a new automated and intelligent solution available that creates order, reduces data chaos, and provides actionable insight.

Join David Clark, Founder and Managing Partner of Allegiant Strategies Group, and Shawn Lieu, Technical Director at Aparavi while they walk you through how Aparavi finds and identifies your data so you can make confident decisions to mitigate risk.

Achieve Compliance with Confidence and Keep Risk Under Control

An original Truth in IT Webinar
You're already making a lot of decisions about your data -- whether or not to keep it, where to store it, how to protect it, who gets access to it. But do you really have the information you need to make those decisions? Do you truly know where all your data lives and what data you have? Here’s where data intelligence and automation come in to locate and identify all of your data. 

In this session, Rod Christensen, CTO of Aparavi, together with Mike Matchett from Small World Big Data, will describe Aparavi’s journey to prove to organizations that data intelligence delivers a fast, smart, easy way to find data. And, how they can make better decisions about their data, saving money, saving time, and reducing risk.

Do you know a data hoarder? Maybe far too intimately?

No data hoarder believes they are one, but enterprise data management is out of control. According to IDG Research, data professionals have reported that data volume is growing by 63%-100% each month! This surge in data increases security, privacy, and legal risks; is a drag to efficiency; and is a drain to budgets across the organization.

When data explodes, no one wins! It’s time for a “data intervention.”

Join Marco Nasca, Chief Innovation Officer at Lineal Services, and Michael Mills, Sales Director at Aparavi, for an important discussion regarding the causes and ramifications of amassing data, as well as simple ways to:

•	Decrease storage and infrastructure costs
•	Mitigate cybersecurity exposure
•	Respond to every growing regulatory request
•	Reduce legal costs and risk associated to litigation and investigations
•	Improve productivity & efficiency
•	Make your data an asset to your organization, instead of a burden

Stop Data Addiction. Mitigate Risk, Cost, and Pain Before it’s too Late.

An original VMUG webcast.

Before you make storage decisions, you should be asking questions about your data. Like how much of this data even needs to be here? How much is redundant, obsolete, or trivial — you know, trash? Is there personal private data in those files that is going to get the compliance people asking questions? Aparavi can help you answer all those questions to save you time, save on your storage budget, and avoid compliance complications.

In this presentation we will show you how to discover, find, identify and classify unstructured data within your vSphere environment. We’ll show you how Aparavi can deploy on VMs within each cluster and scale to multiple clusters. We’ll also give a live demo where you’ll see how easy it is to gain general information about your files and data, and how to find very specific files based on file metadata, or file contents, or even obscure compliance requirements. (Yes, we can find all of your files that include Hungarian-specific GDPR data.)

Know your data. Make better storage decisions and avoid costly mistakes.

If you don't know where your data is stored, how can you protect it from cybersecurity threats and vulnerabilities? The simple answer is – you can't! 

Data mapping and vulnerability mapping must go hand-in-hand to ensure that your Company's data is safe from bad actors or accidental breach. That's why Aparavi, The Data Intelligence & Automation Platform and Secutor, the experts in Cybersecurity Threat and Vulnerability Management, have teamed up. Secutor, powered by Aparavi, helps find your company's mission critical and sensitive data, moves that data to a more secure location, and fixes any vulnerabilities that could give a bad actor access to the data. 

Rod Christensen, CTO of Aparavi, and Kelly Hammons, CEO of Secutor, team up on this webinar to discuss common network security scenarios to demonstrate,

•	The benefits of data mapping and vulnerability mapping
•	How a two-pronged approach can mitigate the impact of network breaches and reduce data leakage

Seeing the Forest through the Trees: Mapping and Securing Critical Data

Dark data and ROT (redundant, obsolete, trivial) data are prolific in many organizations. The task to identify and manage this data is daunting and could potentially take weeks to accomplish. The problem is that ROT and Dark data compounds exponentially over time as your overall data footprint grows, and continues to occupy large chunks of your overall storage spend. In this webinar, learn how to take control of your data, defining what Dark and ROT data means to your organization. Dramatically reduce the time needed to identify unwanted, unneeded or unused data and take back control or your data!

Got Unstructured Data Sprawl? To know your data is to be in control.

Data breaches against State & Local Governments have increased by 65%, according to CNN. Bad actors have a tendency to view these organizations as “low-hanging fruit” when it comes to accessing personal and sensitive data. That's because governments have Petabytes of unstructured legacy data, which only keeps growing, and no comprehensive system in place to search or manage that data. Today there are solutions that can automate the lifecycle of unstructured data and simplify the process of data governance, but there's no time to waste, as the likelihood and implications of a data breach continue to grow exponentially, and states adopt new data privacy laws and hold organizations to higher standards of cybersecurity enforcement. 
 
Join Darryl Richardson, Chief Platform Evangelist at Aparavi, James Taylor, CEO of the Florida Technology Council, and David Clark, Founder and Managing Partner of Allegiant Strategies Group, as they discuss how state and local city governments can:

- Resolve the challenges of unstructured data management
- Reduce the risk of data breach and 
- Protect personal and sensitive data with intelligence and automation

Controlling Data Chaos in State & Local Government

Information requests are growing in frequency and scope, requiring even more knowledge and direct access to your data.  We have a veritable alphabet soup of information requests: DSAR's (Data Subject Access Requests) for data privacy laws like GDPR and CCPA, FOIA (Freedom of Information Act) for government agencies, regulatory audits or M&A (Mergers & Acquisitions)... oh my. Modus, powered by Aparavi, helps companies find their data, know what they have, and quickly and efficiently respond to information requests. 

Please join us for a webinar led by Mike Krafton, Vice President of Data Privacy and Governance at Modus, and Beth Winters, Solutions Marketing Manager at Aparavi, as we discuss these increasing challenges and offer guidance to simplify processes across legal and IT departments.

DSAR's, FOIA, and Audits, Oh My! The Age of Information Requests

Beth Winters is joined by Debbie Reynolds, the Data Diva, and Mike Krafton of Modus, to discuss the CCPA, the CPRA and NY SHIELD Act and how to structure your company's data privacy compliance program to meet those imperatives.

A Privacy Primer: CCPA, CPRA and NY SHIELD Act Mandate

Data privacy compliance is becoming more onerous as regulatory obligations increase, while budgets and headcount remain strained post-pandemic.

How can in-house counsel build a comprehensive Data Privacy Compliance program using automated tools? How can privacy compliance be more automated and less manual?
At the same time, in-house counsel need to take a team approach to privacy compliance. How can in-house counsel efficiently manage relationships with consultants, vendors and outside counsel?

This webinar will present a case study with best practice recommendations from three attorneys with three different points of view: consultant, vendor and outside counsel.

Automating Data Privacy Compliance with a Team Approach

Data intelligence and automation play a pivotal role in the identification and assessment of data before, during and after mergers & acquisitions (M&A) deals. Take a listen to this case study which demonstrates how the Aparavi platform can be critical to integrating a massive amount of data into a main domain while adhering to data retention policies and compliance regulations.
