    Overview

    DataGravity for Virtualization (DGfV) was designed to secure and protect data in virtual machine environments by seamlessly integrating data security, search and discovery, and data protection into a turnkey software appliance. It has a 360° view of data, making it easy to understand its composition and easily to identify data that hasn't been accessed within company's retention policy to find files that could be archived or deleted. It performs keyword searches across all unstructured file content and refine those results by a range of file and system attributes to find lost files, identify key contributors, and unlock the value hidden in your data as it monitors user interactions with the data stored within a VM and triggers data protection points when anomalous user behavior is detected.

    FreeNAS is an operating system that can be installed on virtually any hardware platform to share data over a network. FreeNAS is the simplest way to create a centralized and easily accessible place for your data. Use FreeNAS with ZFS to protect, store, backup, all of your data. FreeNAS is used everywhere, for the home, small business, and the enterprise.
