What is Information Life-cycle Management (ILM)?
Information Life-cycle Management (ILM) is a comprehensive method for managing the flow and accessibility of data through its life cycle, from its creation to its final deletion. It involves all aspects of dealing with data and enables more complex criteria for storage management than data age and frequency of access. ILM typically organises the data into separate tiers according to specified policies and automating data migration form one tier to another based on those criteria. Generally newer data and data that is used on frequent basis is stored on faster, more accessible storage media, while less critical data is stored on slower media. Users have the ability to specify different policies for data that declines in value at different rates or that retains its value throughout its lifespan. ILM has become more prevalent due to the increasing importance of data management in regard to internal management, compliance issues and government legislation. For more Frequently Asked Questio
