Reclaim vast amounts of primary data storage

Bloated files consume a large amount of your primary storage – and one of the worst file bloat offenders is Microsoft Office. People include more images, charts and other graphics within their documents – and the applications leave transient data, metadata and even junk data within each file.

NXPowerLite for File Servers attacks file bloat at the core. It reduces PowerPoint, Word, Excel and JPEG files to a fraction of their original size by eliminating any excess baggage. Files remain in their original format, retaining all their attributes and visual content integrity.What's this?

Effectively treating the dreadful blight of file bloat

The insidious problem of file bloat

Bloated files have cascading consequences. More bloated files mean more primary storage. More storage means more rack space, floor space, cables, switch ports, switches, power, cooling, a lot of management and a huge amount of expense. Bloated files also mean bigger emails, slower mail servers, choked bandwidth, larger backup windows, longer recovery times and additional secondary storage for data protection, leading to even more rack space, storage systems, cables, switch ports, switches, rack space, floor space, power, cooling, a lot more management and a whole lot more expense.

Deduplication doesn't work well on primary storage – it can slow down system performance and lead to a much higher probability of undetected data corruption. Normal data compression also slows down the system, and often has little effect on Microsoft Office or JPEG files. And these technologies don't reduce file bloat – they merely treat the symptoms.

NXPowerLite fixes file bloat

NXPowerLite for File Servers cuts the bloat from your files, reducing Microsoft Office and JPEG file sizes by up to 95%*. It analyses the content on your server and replaces any bloated files with smaller, optimised versions. And, as optimised files don't need to be decompressed or rehydrated, there's no negative effect on system performance.
