Today Aparavi announced that it has forged a new category in data management in the release of The Aparavi Platform. The Aparavi Platform is exclusively available on the Microsoft Azure marketplace through a partnership of the two companies, including a joint go-to-market initiative with Microsoft Cloud Solution Providers. The newly announced platform is said to address use cases of finding and controlling data, optimizing data availability for cost savings, and fueling innovation.

Aparavi Platform

Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, Aparavi is all about data intelligence and automation. Their flagship product is the Aparavi Platform. The platform is said to move beyond data management to data intelligence and automation and all of the benefits that includes such as reducing complexity and costs. As compliance and privacy take a front seat, especially in regions like Europe, the platform helps by enabling data discovery with automated classification, data optimization (including removal), and easy migration to alternative data stores such as on-premises storage or major clouds. The visibility into data not only gives users insights, but it triggers action based on its lifecycle, access requirement, content, risk level, regulatory policy, amongst other criteria.

The Aparavi Platform Capabilities and benefits include:

Classification, Index, Discovery, and Reporting in one easy-to-use interface. Aparavi provides comprehensive data intelligence and management in one platform, rather than licensing numerous expensive complex products, and gives a clear understanding of unstructured data from cradle to grave. More than 140 predefined classifications address regulatory compliance for vertical industries and countries, with more than 800 patterns recognized.
Automated Control over All Unstructured Data. Assign retention policies to unstructured data and automatically copy, move, and delete based on those policies. The Platform empowers users with the insight to know what can, can’t, and should be deleted based on regulatory or nonregulatory requirements. The Platform addresses all unstructured data down to the content and metadata level, even image and video files and their OCR text.
Data Visualization and Cost Analysis. Understand what data exists, where it resides, who owns it, and how much it costs to maintain. Aparavi aids in data and IT consolidation by identifying and classifying critical data and redundant, obsolete, trivial data that can be removed, typically delivering 30% to 40% savings in data infrastructure.
Core to Edge/Cloud/Endpoint Support. Users can manage risk, cost, and data sprawl no matter where unstructured data is stored. Alleviate risk and prevent data leakage across distributed repositories in data center storage, cloud storage, and even endpoints for a true defensible deletion policy. This comprehensive control makes it easy to comply with requests to remove data such as personally identifiable information (PII) for GDPR, CCPA compliance, and other regulations, as well as to meet subject access requests or legal holds.
Storage-Agnostic. Unlike point solutions that are bound to their specific systems or single-purpose tools, Aparavi can discover and index data without requiring it to be copied, moved, or egressed first – further reducing cost and time to insight, while minimizing storage, security and performance impacts.
Flexible Deployment. The Platform is SaaS-based but has the flexibility to be deployed on-premises through Aparavi and Aparavi authorized partners, for customers with unique needs.

Availability and Pricing

A few months back, Aparavi introduce its Early Access Program. Now, the Aparavi Platform SaaS version is available on Microsoft Azure marketplace. For pricing, the Platform starts at $1,788/month for 50TB of data or 50 million files under management.
