Getting Started with File Storage Optimization

To get started with file storage optimization, install the software, complete the File Storage Optimization guided setup, and add data sources to analyze.

Procedure

  1. Verify that your environment meets the system requirements for File Storage Optimization.

  2. Install the Index Store package and the Index Gateway package.

    These entities perform the data analysis operations required for File Storage Optimization.

  3. Complete the guided setup for File Storage Optimization.

    The guided setup guides you through creating a data classification plan, an index server, and an inventory. The inventory stores the information within a domain such as Active Directory.

  4. Set permissions for users so that they can access File Storage Optimization.

    To set permissions for a user, create an association between the Data Controller security role, the CommCell computer, and the infrastructure administrator and the data controller users. For more information, see Permissions for Data Insights.
