Executive Summary Thank you for your interest in NTP Software VFM. The latest addition to the NTP Software product portfolio, NTP Software VFM enables employees to archive files; users can select from a predefined set of criteria such as file size, age of last access, or other criteria (Right-Click Data Movement ), and organizations can also establish policies that automatically archive files once users reach their storage limits (Event-Driven Data Movement ). Both methods enable companies to control storage and operating costs and to expedite backups by moving files from a primary storage environment to lowercost tiered storage. NTP Software VFM, in its simplest form, moves the contents of a file to a storage medium and leaves behind a stub to identify where its contents are located so the file can later be restored by NTP Software VFM. This gives customers the ability to reduce storage requirements by providing old files only when needed. Copyright 2012-2017 NTP Software 3
