Information Life cycle Management using ILM Data Archive

Enterprises are trying to make the most of the BI and building their own EDW [ Enterprise Data Warehouse ] to aid the in-house growth and maximise output where ever possible by analysing all the data available to them. In this process they are inevitably facing the problem of the excess data that gets captured over time. What happens when a legacy application is retired? Where does all its data go? Comes in Information Life cycle Management to address all these problems.

The older data which either expired or no longer needed to make the mission critical decisions are either purged or moved to different alternate database where it gets stored until comes the time to purge them as well. What happens when there is space constraint to store these data or a need be to use them in the future?
