Information lifecycle management (ILM) is a process for managing information through its lifecycle, from conception until disposal, in a manner that optimizes storage and access at the lowest cost. The most efficient ILM strategy for a business manages information according to its value. For small and medium-sized enterprises, predicting storage needs and controlling costs can be especially challenging as the business grows.
IBM's experience with the broad range of ILM technologies, its relationships with leading ISVs, and its broad portfolio of offerings and solutions — including offerings in IBM System Storage disk and tape systems, IBM System Storage software, and IBM DB2® content management software — can help your business select the best solutions to manage your information throughout its lifecycle.
