Replace assumptions with facts.
One unified view of all your unstructured data, regardless of vendor, protocol, or location, without moving a single file.
You Cannot Manage What You Cannot See
Storage costs keep climbing but nobody can explain exactly why. Data sprawls across NAS, file servers, and cloud buckets from multiple vendors. Files go unaccessed for years. Orphaned data accumulates silently. Nobody has a single, accurate view of what is actually out there.
The result: you are paying to store, replicate, and back up data that nobody needs on infrastructure you cannot fully justify, across vendors you cannot compare.
One Report. Total Clarity.
Runs on-site as a Docker container in your data center. No data movement, no egress, no disruption. Connects directly to your storage via SMB, NFS, and S3 from any vendor and delivers actionable intelligence in hours.
Global Storage Visibility
A single, unified view across all NAS, file servers, buckets, and cloud platforms regardless of vendor. Break down data silos once and for all.
Compliance and Risk Visibility
Identify files that have not been accessed within compliance windows, or sensitive data in unsecured locations without touching the data itself.
Cold and Orphaned Data Identification
Pinpoint exactly which data has not been accessed in months or years. Know what is cold, who owns it, and what it is costing you before making any decisions.
Growth and Age Analysis
Understand how fast storage is growing, where it is coming from, and how data age is distributed so capacity planning becomes an engineering exercise, not a guess.
ROI Modeling
Use your actual storage data to calculate ROI and identify opportunities to improve storage savings before committing to any migration or purchase.
File Type and MIME Distribution
See exactly what kinds of files are consuming your storage. Identify redundant, obsolete, and trivial data across every share and bucket.
Two Levels of Intelligence
Both reports run on-site in your data center. Neither moves your data or creates egress. The difference is how deep you want to go.
Harvests Without Opening Files
Connects directly to your storage via SMB, NFS, or S3 and captures all POSIX filesystem metadata and object metadata without touching file contents. Fast, safe, and works on any environment at any scale.
Opens Files. Extracts Everything.
Goes beyond the filesystem - actually opens files and extracts the insights, content, and context embedded inside them. Hundreds of file types supported including industry-specific and application-specific formats.
Built to Handle Billions of Files
MetadataHub scales from small environments to the largest enterprise storage estates on the planet - billions of files, petabytes of data, across any number of shares, buckets, and platforms. The example shown here is just a small illustration of what a report delivers.
This is just some of what you can see - and much more.
Built For Everyone Who Owns the Data Problem

How It Works
Connect
Deploy the MetadataHub Docker container in your data center. Most environments are up and scanning in under an hour. No agents, no data movement.
Harvest
Metadata harvesters scan your environment in-place, capturing POSIX, object, and optionally embedded metadata from inside your files.
Analyze
The engine maps your entire data landscape - age, size, type, owner, growth - across every share and bucket.
Deliver
You receive a full report with interactive charts, ROI model, PDF and CSV exports, and a clear path to cost reduction.

Runs On-Site
Deploys as a Docker container directly in your data center. Nothing touches your public cloud unless you choose it.
No Data Leaves Your Environment
Zero egress. Zero data movement. Your files stay exactly where they are - the report comes to you, not the other way around.
Deployed in Under One Hour
Single Docker container. Connects to your storage via standard protocols. Most environments are scanning within the hour.

Common Questions
Does this require moving or recalling any data?
No. The report runs entirely in-place using filesystem and object metadata. Nothing is moved, recalled, or modified.
Which storage systems does it support?
Any SMB, NFS, or S3-compatible storage - on-premises or cloud, any vendor. NAS, file servers, object stores, and hybrid environments all work.
What is the difference between the two report types?
The Data Landscape Report uses filesystem metadata - fast and safe for any environment with no files opened. The In-Depth Report goes further, opening files to extract embedded metadata from hundreds of file types, delivering critical insights into the actual content and context of your data.
How long does deployment take?
The Docker container deploys in under one hour in most environments. Analysis typically completes within hours, not days. MetadataHub is capable of scanning billions of files.
What are the security and data sovereignty guarantees?
MetadataHub runs entirely within your data center. No data leaves your environment - ever. There is no egress, no cloud dependency, and no external access to your files.
How is it priced?
Flat rate pricing - no per-TB or per-file charges. Contact us for a quote tailored to your environment and use case.
Can the report help calculate storage ROI?
Yes. The report includes a storage ROI calculator that uses your actual storage costs to model savings from tiering and archiving cold data, including the compounding cost reduction from reduced replication and backup spend.
