Data Cataloging

Data Cataloging service is a modern metadata management software that provides data insight for exabyte-scale heterogeneous file, object, backup, and archive storage on premises and in the cloud. It can help you manage your unstructured data by reducing the data storage costs, uncovering hidden data value, and reducing the risk of massive data stores.
