Hi.
I'm looking for tools that will allow us to analyse the data we have stored eg on CIFS shares, we are looking to implement data archiving based on age and user usage patterns, preferably we are looking for an application that would monitor the data the share as the data changes, then update its database / cache of know files and directories on the share, thus providing the data in a manor that is easily accessible for reporting and carrying out automated task. And avoiding regular IO intensive scans of the data to update a database as would be if I were to use a crude scripted solution.
Open source is perferable, but if the price is rite we may be willing to invest.
