Nashua, NH —August 15, 2007 NTP Software, first in the
control and management of unstructured data, announced today that the Home
Shopping Network, a global multi-channel retailing giant offering thousands of
products to enhance all aspects of its customers’ lives, has selected NTP Software
to analyze utilization trends and set policies to control unstructured data
consumption within their Network Appliance environment.
With 4,500 employees, handling 66
million calls each year along with the logistics of shipping over 50 million
packages worldwide, HSN needed a solution that would roll storage consumption
back to acceptable limits by applying their company policies and executing best
practices throughout the organization.
To cut back on storage costs, HSN
deployed the analytical reports provided in Storage M&A to predict
short-term and long-term trends. M&A outlined pre-existing risks and
highlighted areas for concern within their network. Once HSN had visibility,
they were able to execute their company policies throughout the organization
using QFS to set proper storage limits and automatically block or remove
unwanted and illegal content.
“QFS
and Storage M&A supply HSN with the resources to both control today’s
storage issues and pre-assess potential situations, allowing HSN to proactively
manage their data files before concerns arise.” stated Aaron Dufoe, vice
president of sales, NTP Software.
