Business storage problems
How file optimisation can help
58% of new corporate data growth is unstructured data such as Microsoft Office documents. This is set to grow at an annual rate of 96%.

Unnecessarily large files are created and stored every day. Many Word, Excel and PowerPoint files contain high-resolution graphics, extraneous data and other redundant content. JPEG images are often stored at ridiculously large sizes, due to the ever-increasing number of megapixels offered by digital cameras.
Storage growth is a critical problem. Although costs are declining over time, enterprise-grade storage is still expensive to procure. Adding storage hardware requires additional floorspace, more electricity and is bad for the environment – while labour to evaluate, deploy and manage storage can cost up to eight times more than the storage itself.
Increasing storage also leads to backup problems. You'll require extra backup media and suffer from extended backup windows. If your storage grows out of control, your nightly backup might not be completed in time.
Why use NXPowerLite?
NXPowerLite for File Servers and NXPowerLite for Small Business File Servers automatically replace the Word, Excel and PowerPoint files on your servers with smaller, optimized versions. The first time you use it, you'll reclaim vast amounts of existing server storage. By scheduling it to run regularly, you can continue to free up storage on an ongoing basis.
It's an environmentally friendly, software-only solution that offers a high return on investment and significant, immediate benefits.
Reclaim server storage
Additional storage is expensive to procure and bad for the environment. Optimising files enables you to instantly reclaim vast amounts of existing storage. It extends the life of your existing hardware and contributes to a greener storage strategy.
Speed up antivirus scans
Large files take longer to scan. Optimising them increases the speed of security and antivirus checks.
Avoid security issues
If a file is too large to email, end-users may resort to FTP, personal webmail or online file-sharing services. Optimising files ensures they won't need to distribute them via these less secure methods.
Improve staff productivity
Optimising files improves productivity; end-users can create image-heavy content without worrying about their storage quotas. It also cuts down the time IT staff spend dealing with storage and bandwidth limitations.
Shorten network response times
Large files slow down your entire network. Optimizing them can significantly lighten the load, reducing data transfer costs and improving network response times – so remote users can 'feel' local.
Shorten backup windows
Optimising files accelerates your backup process, shortening backup windows, cutting costs and reducing media requirements.
