The volume of today’s unstructured data renders manual analysis obsolete. This makes static dashboards ineffective for data observability and critical IT tasks like optimizing storage costs, monitoring security, or ensuring compliance.

CTERA InsightAI leverages agentic intelligence to deliver the operational intelligence that system administrators and IT leaders need. Find immediate, actionable answers by asking natural language questions. InsightAI is your smart data assistant, proactively surfacing the anomalies and trends you didn’t know to look for.

It’s the difference between guesswork and confidence, allowing you to stop chasing problems and start driving strategy.

A More Intelligent Way to Manage Enterprise Data

Manage and Reduce Your Storage Costs
Ask direct questions to pinpoint cost-saving opportunities, identify cold data and align storage spending with business value. With InsightAI, you can understand which users and teams are driving consumption and deliver accurate chargeback bills.

Reduce the IT Operations Burden
Free your team from reactive firefighting with automated customizable system analysis and recurring reports that proactively deliver insights to simplify daily management.

Discover Security Risks and Investigate Faster
Cut incident investigation times from hours to seconds by asking plain-language questions to reconstruct events, conduct deep file system investigations, and understand the root cause of anomalous behavior. Perform forensic-style troubleshooting to find everything from mass file deletion to unusually active users that may signal malicious activity.

Simplify Governance and Continuously
Validate Compliance
Reduce audit risk by instantly generating comprehensive reports on data access, usage, and retention to satisfy auditors and validate compliance. This can save hours, even days, of time for IT staff, enabling them to focus more on project delivery than compliance.

HOW IT WORKS: YOUR DATA ANSWERS ARE A QUESTION AWAY
