Data Center REfresh - Start with the Data

Stop Migrating Useless Data.

Lightning IQ scans petabytes per hour, without moving data, so storage teams can reduce footprint, eliminate risk, and retire infrastructure faster.

Scan Everything. Assess Instantly. Know Exactly What to Do.

Scan. Understand. Decide.

Speed changes the refresh equation.

Before you migrate or replace infrastructure, Lightning IQ reveals exactly what’s in your storage - so you can shrink footprint, reduce risk, and refresh with confidence.
 
Petabyte-scale speed
Lightning IQ scans and analyzes data at up to 1PB per hour, delivering complete storage visibility across NAS, object, archive, and cloud environments in hours - not weeks.
 
See what you're actually storing
Understand file types, ownership, age, usage patterns, and storage consumption instantly, so refresh decisions are driven by facts, not estimates.
 
Root out unnecessary data
Identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial (ROT) data across petabyte-scale environments and eliminate it before buying new storage or migrating workloads.
 
Surface risk before infrastructure changes
Locate sensitive data, stale permissions, and exposed files before refresh projects begin, reducing compliance and security risk during migrations.

Make faster infrastructure decisions
Lightning IQ delivers content-aware intelligence at petabyte scale, helping teams determine what to retain, tier, archive, migrate, or retire.
 
Refresh with confidence
Whether consolidating platforms, modernizing storage, or migrating data centers, Lightning IQ gives infrastructure leaders the clarity to move faster and spend smarter.

See everything in your storage ... before you move anything.

Process and analyze terabytes of unstructured data in place at blistering speed. Use your own governance policies and workflows to uncover redundant data, sensitive information, and unused files, long before infrastructure refresh or migration begins.

data hosting.

Hardware costs are skyrocketing. Your storage footprint shouldn’t be.

Identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial data before infrastructure refresh or migration begins. Reduce storage volumes at the source and dramatically lower the hardware you need to buy.
