Unite your bytes.
In today’s data-driven landscape, the importance of a business knowing the whereabouts of its data cannot be overstated. It’s scattered across countless systems, servers, and sprawling global cloud architectures. Diskover cuts through the chaos. Far-reaching and agnostic, it doesn’t matter where your data resides—or who’s holding it. Diskover finds it, everywhere.
COMPREHENSIVE INDEXING OF GENERIC FILESYSTEMS
This is where it all starts.
Out of the box, Diskover efficiently scans generic filesystems. However, in today’s complex IT architectures, files are often stored across a variety of repositories. To address this, Diskover provides a robust foundation for building alternate scanners, enabling comprehensive indexing of any file storage location.
These repositories often contain relevant additional metadata, which can be leveraged by adding it to the index. This enhanced metadata inclusion allows for more precise data management workflows and analysis, with the ultimate goal of reusing and optimizing your data storage solutions.
COMPREHENSIVE INDEXING OF SPECIALIZED FILESYSTEMS

CORE
Atempo Miria.
Overview:
Organizations often preserve their assets/intellectual properties within tape-based archives systems like the Atempo Miria platform. The Diskover Atempo Scanner is designed to index all the files within the Atempo Miria archive system and presents them as a volume within the Diskover user interface. Additional attributes are added as properties to the file during the indexing process, such as tape number, media type, etc. Therefore, the files and their rich attributes become searchable and reportable, as well as engaged in automated workflows.

Dell PowerScale.
Overview:
The ability to efficiently collect, store, and analyze data is crucial for making informed decisions and gaining a competitive edge. Dell Technologies recognizes the importance of data management and provides the infrastructure needed to support data-intensive workloads.
The lightweight ps_scan architecture harvests the multiple PowerScale attributes harvested during indexing. Users have the option to only index the attributes that are relevant to their business. All these attributes become searchable, reportable, actionable, and can be engaged in automated workflows allowing for very precise data management and curation.

DirCache.
Overview:
The DirCache alternate scanner can be used to speed up subsequent crawls when indexing slower network-mounted storage. DirCache uses an SQLite database to store a local cache of directories’ mtimes (modified times), directories’ file lists, and file stat attributes. On subsequent crawls, when a directory mtime is the same as in the cache, the directory list and all file stat attributes can be retrieved from the cache rather than over the network mount.
Technical documentation:
Dropbox.
Overview:
The Dropbox Scanner is a powerful utility designed to integrate with Dropbox accounts for comprehensive file metadata retrieval and management. By leveraging Dropbox’s API, this scanner connects securely to your Dropbox account, navigates through your files and folders, and collects detailed information such as file sizes, creation and modification dates, and sharing permissions.
This tool enhances your ability to monitor and organize your Dropbox content, providing valuable insights into your data usage and structure. Perfect for businesses of any size, the Dropbox Scanner ensures efficient file management, improved data organization, and seamless data accessibility.
Technical documentation:
FTP.
Overview:
The FTP Site Scanner is a robust tool designed to streamline the process of collecting and analyzing file statistics from FTP sites. It efficiently connects to any FTP server, navigates through the directory structure, and retrieves critical file metadata such as size, creation date, modification date, and permissions. By aggregating this data, the scanner provides comprehensive insights into the filesystem’s organization and usage patterns.
This tool is ideal for administrators and developers looking to maintain optimal FTP site performance, ensure data integrity, and facilitate audits or compliance checks.

Generic JSON/CSV text scanner.
Overview:
The JSON/CSV Text Scanner is a powerful tool designed for efficient data processing and metadata collection. This versatile scanner seamlessly handles JSON and CSV files, extracting essential metadata such as file structure, field names, data types, and record counts. Whether you’re managing large datasets or integrating diverse data sources, this scanner simplifies your workflow, providing comprehensive insights and enhancing data transparency.
With its robust performance, the JSON/CSV Text Scanner is a go-to solution for streamlined data management and analysis.
Technical documentation:
Microsoft Azure Blob.
Overview:
While you can cost-effectively store and access unstructured data at scale with Microsoft Azure blob storage, searching through multiple accounts or blob containers is not possible from the Azure interface. The storage explorer portal doesn’t allow users to search all folders at once, plus you need to know the exact file name you are looking for as wild cards are not permitted either.
Diskover offers the Azure blob storage scanner allowing you to index petabytes of data at blazing speed. In turn, you can easily find any file with a single query, whether that file is located in an Azure blob or any other volumes indexed with Diskover.
Note that attributes are collected during this process. These extra fields become searchable, reportable for analysis, and actionable, allowing for potential upstream file management, manually or via automated scheduled tasks.
Technical documentation:
Microsoft OneDrive and SharePoint.
Overview:
This powerful alternate scanner allows you to seamlessly integrate and manage data from your OneDrive and SharePoint environments, extracting critical metadata and ensuring comprehensive data visibility. With Diskover’s flexible and user-friendly scanning options, you can customize your data extraction process to suit your organization’s needs.

Technical documentation:
Offline media.
Overview:
The Offline Media Indexer offers a simple solution to index all your offline data devices. During the indexing process, Diskover automatically creates a new OFFLINE MEDIA volume listing all indexed offline devices as a directory. The index of your offline media stays persistent once the drive is disconnected and put back on the shelf.
If your search results point to an offline media, use the reference name or number you attributed to the offline media to locate the device. Then, just reconnect it to retrieve the desired files.
There are several Diskover features you can use with those static indices like tags, export, share, and investigate using our multiple analytical tools. Then, if you decide to fully rehydrate that data, more cool things are available like actions via plugins and scheduled workflow automation.
