Data Retention & Archive

Imperva Data Security Fabric's (DSF) Data Retention & Archive capability allows you to meet any data archiving requirement using the most cost-efficient storage technology available

Designed for building cost-efficient compliance clouds

Imperva Data Security Fabric (DSF) allows you to import data from cloud and on-premises sources, customize the data using pipelines, visualize and report on the data, and archive the data for compliance purposes. The ability to manage an archive and purge data retention policy provides an efficient storage framework to help meet compliance requirements and reduces the costs of operating and maintaining data in the cloud.

Hybrid columnar Compression

Traditionally, data has been organized within a database block in a 'row' format, where all column data for a particular row is stored sequentially within a single database block. Having data from columns, with different data types stored close together, limits the amount of storage savings achievable with compression technology. An alternative approach is storing data in a 'columnar' format, where data is organized and stored by column. Storing column data together with the same data type and similar characteristics dramatically increases the storage savings achieved from compression. However, storing data in this manner has the potential to slow database performance when application queries span multiple columns. Imperva's algorithm overcomes this limitation by storing a representation of the row data as a separate column within the compressed data, resulting in exceptionally fast querie

Total control of the archiving and purge lifecycle

With Imperva Data Security Fabric (DSF) Data Retention & Archive, the complete lifecycle of your data archive is under your control. Regardless if your data is stored locally – or if you opt to use cloud storage – you can set specific policies for individual data stores and/or groups of data stores to control the duration of how long data is retained. When you use cloud storage, you can set additional options in your retention policy to move data to different storage tiers based on the age of the data.
