The research also found:

• 83.1% of the total stored capacity is in files that have not been modified in more than one year.

• 97.5% of individual files had not been modified in more than one year.

• 88% of individual files had not been accessed in more than one year, indicating the extent of inactivity across enterprise file environments.

• Only 9.9% of stored data was accessed in any given 90-day period.

These findings point to a common yet costly pattern in which organizations use expensive primary storage as a de facto archive. IT professionals have a term for this accumulated inactive data: ROT, short for Redundant, Obsolete, or Trivial data that exists in duplicate or serves no clear business purpose. While cold data on primary storage is not a new challenge, the research highlights how this ROT data consumes storage as it is backed up, protected, and managed, increasing the resources needed to maintain the overall data estate.

The security implications are also significant. Inactive data often remains in the same network-accessible environments and under the same permissions as active data, potentially exposing far more information than employees and applications need for day-to-day operations.

The research also highlights an emerging AI-readiness challenge. As organizations use AI to search and retrieve enterprise information, large volumes of historical or inactive data can make it harder to surface the most relevant and current information. AI is only as useful as the data it can access, and only as reliable as the information it retrieves.

“When only 4.4% of capacity is actively used, enterprises are running their most expensive storage tier as what is effectively a cold archive. That creates a multiplier effect across storage and data protection costs, security exposure, and now the quality of information available to AI systems,” said Aron Brand, CTO of CTERA. “This points to a fundamental challenge in how organizations think about data management. The answer isn’t simply to delete old data, it’s to make better decisions about where that data belongs. Information can be retained and protected without living on expensive primary storage.”

London is calling once again for European Microwave Week, bringing together leading experts in RF, microwave, wireless and radar technology who are pushing the boundaries of design. From October 6 to 8, 2026, Rohde & Schwarz will present at booth B10 in the European Microwave Exhibition at Excel London its latest test and measurement solutions designed to help engineers stay ahead at the cutting edge of design and prepare systems for increasingly contested and complex spectrum environments.

Markus Lörner, Application Segment Manager RF & Microwave Components at Rohde & Schwarz, says: “Our EuMW 2026 motto, ‘Progress needs proof,’ reflects what many engineers are facing today: when DUTs push beyond the limits of conventional methods, innovation slows down. At the show, we will demonstrate how our advanced test solutions support customers across RF and microwave components, satellite and radar systems, phased-array antennas and emerging 6G sensing applications. As R&D moves toward higher frequencies, more integrated designs and increasingly demanding spectrum environments, precise and reliable measurement becomes a key enabler of progress.”

From EW and EMSO scenarios to advanced high-frequency characterization

A highlight at the Rohde & Schwarz booth is the FSWX signal and spectrum analyzer, displayed in a radar and electronic warfare (EW) test scenario within the context of electromagnetic spectrum operations (EMSO), focused on DRFM-based jammers. In this setup, an R&S SMW200A vector signal generator simulates radar signals, while the FSWX uses its multi-channel architecture to analyze jammer input and output signals simultaneously for a comprehensive assessment of deceptive signal behavior. The new, fully integrated R&S FSWX-KM700 pulse analysis option measures both channels in parallel and provides detailed insight into pulsed radar parameters, differences between the channels and the parameter trends over time.

In a second demonstration, Rohde & Schwarz will show how the game-changing multi-channel capabilities of the FSWX can be extended into the E-band and even up to 110 GHz for advanced high-frequency component characterization. Combined with the R&S SFI100A wideband IF vector signal generator and the fully calibrated R&S FE110ST/SR external frontends, the setup supports wideband satellite component testing for next-generation payload and link applications and beyond, helping engineers capture the true characteristics of the device under test and overcoming the limits of traditional measurement equipment.

Advanced testing for low-noise sources and high-power RF frontends

Rohde & Schwarz will also showcase the enhanced R&S FSWP phase noise analyzer and VCO tester platform for advanced component characterization. With support for residual and absolute phase noise measurements up to 56 GHz and further improved internal reference, R&S FSWP-B62, the solution offers high flexibility for testing synthesizers, OCXOs, DROs, VCOs and two-port components such as amplifiers. New options for integrating external signal sources as local oscillators can dramatically accelerate measurements, in some cases by up to a factor of 1,000, making the R&S FSWP well suited for the development of low-noise signal sources for radar, satellite, base station and high-speed digital applications.

Rohde & Schwarz will also present the new R&S SAM200 system amplifier for high-power test applications in the Ka- and V-band up to 53 GHz. In radar, satellite link and backhaul applications, RF frontends must deliver higher power levels so signals can travel farther and cover larger distances. Designed to support validation of these components, the amplifier extends test setups with higher signal power while maintaining precise and reliable level control. At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase the R&S SAM200 in two demonstrations: one characterizing a high-power Ka-band amplifier with the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer in a fully integrated and calibrated test setup, and another highlighting the amplifier’s linearity in a wideband modulated test scenario with the R&S SMW200A vector signal generator and the R&S FSW signal and spectrum analyzer.

Scalable test for SATCOM and phased-array systems

At EuMW, Rohde & Schwarz will also highlight the R&S ZNB3000 vector network analyzer for measurement applications in satellite communications, Earth observation and radio astronomy. Its wide dynamic range and low trace noise provide the sensitivity required for demanding antenna characterization and radar measurements. For higher-frequency applications, optional millimeter wave converters extend coverage up to 330 GHz, including bands used by microwave and millimeter wave radiometers. Together, these capabilities make the R&S ZNB3000 a versatile and cost-effective solution for a broad range of measurement needs in the satellite and space sectors.

Rohde & Schwarz will also demonstrate a phased array antenna test setup highlighting fast and accurate OTA testing and antenna diagram pattern validation for advanced wireless and aerospace and defense applications. Featuring a 5G NR FR2 device under test, the solution combines the R&S ATS1800C CATR- based over-the-air test system with the R&S ZNA vector network analyzer to help reduce test complexity, increase throughput and preserve beamforming accuracy from development through verification to production. A special see-through version of the R&S ATS1800C will be on display at EuMW, featuring a plexiglass wall, giving visitors a rare look at the chamber’s internal CATR technology.

Micro-Doppler emulation for emerging sensing use cases

With the AREG800A radar target generator, Rohde & Schwarz will showcase new test capabilities addressing use cases like 6G integrated sensing and communication (ISAC). As 6G networks evolve beyond data connectivity toward environmental awareness, ISAC is emerging as a key technology for detecting and classifying objects using mobile infrastructure. In addition to emulating distance, speed and radar cross section (RCS), the solution can also generate micro-Doppler signatures, enabling more realistic test scenarios for applications such as drone detection and supporting the development of advanced sensing capabilities.

Tool sprawl has become one of the defining frictions of IT and security operations, with industry research showing that the average enterprise uses approximately 75 security tools.

“If you look at the real work of IT, nothing ever happens inside just one system. Onboarding a person touches identity, devices, and your HR system. Responding to a threat touches the endpoint, the user’s access, and the ticket. And today, a person is the one connecting all of that, every single time,” said Apu Pavithran, CEO and Founder of Hexnode, at HexCon26. 

Each handoff adds manual work, slows response and makes it harder to understand how the issue was resolved.

Hexnode Synapse connects those steps. It extends workflows across the enterprise systems teams already use, and runs deepest on Hexnode UEM, Hexnode XDR and Hexnode IdP.

What is Hexnode Synapse?

Hexnode Synapse is a governed, agentic orchestration layer built to coordinate requests, alerts and events end to end, across every enterprise system involved in resolving them.

Synapse starts with native context from Hexnode UEM, Hexnode XDR and Hexnode IdP and extends workflows into surrounding IT and security tools. Rather than requiring administrators to move manually between consoles, it coordinates agents, approvals and system actions around a single request, alert or event.

How does Hexnode Synapse work?

“The shift is agentic: where the platform is not just telling you what to do, it’s actually doing the work,” Pavithran told the HexCon26 audience. 

Hexnode Synapse works through specialist AI agents that reason about incoming requests and alerts, determine the appropriate next step and act within defined guardrails. It initially includes:

• Device Agent: Supports root-cause diagnostics, compliance-drift remediation, patch and vulnerability remediation, and device provisioning through Hexnode UEM.
• Identity Agent: Supports access requests, identity lifecycle operations, role changes and account-related tasks through Hexnode IdP.
• Threat Agent: Supports alert triage, threat investigation and containment through Hexnode XDR.

Beyond the built-in agents, organizations can configure custom agents for scenarios around their own tools and knowledge base sources. 

Hexnode Synapse can also coordinate cross-product sequences when a workflow spans more than one system.

For example, a single prompt like “Onboard John” reads the new hire’s HR profile and kicks off the onboarding workflow: Hexnode Synapse creates the identity and assigns app licenses based on the employee’s department, pushes zero-touch device configuration and endpoint protection policies in parallel, and records the corresponding IT ticket, all as one governed workflow. If a step stalls, it recovers on its own; when app licenses run out, Synapse raises a ticket and resumes provisioning the moment a seat frees up.

How is Hexnode Synapse governed by design?

Hexnode Synapse uses guardrails, the admin-defined limits on what an agent can ever do on its own, together with action-level approval gates and a traceable execution history to keep agent actions under human control. 

Work within those guardrails proceeds autonomously. Sensitive actions, such as a device wipe, endpoint isolation or privileged access change, are routed to a named approver before execution.

“Routine work can happen on its own. Anything consequential comes back to a person, and if the system is not sure, that comes back to a person too. Autonomy without that control is not something an IT team will ever deploy,” Pavithran said.

Every autonomous or approved action is recorded in the Execution Centre: what triggered the request, what the agent decided, who approved it and what ran. IT and security teams can browse and export this history, turning an audit into a download rather than a multi-week evidence hunt.

Initial integrations and availability

At launch, Hexnode Synapse integrates with ServiceNow, Zendesk, Microsoft Entra ID and BambooHR, extending orchestration into surrounding IT and security workflows alongside Hexnode UEM, Hexnode XDR and Hexnode IdP. Hexnode plans to steadily expand this integration catalog along with Synapse’s core capabilities in the phases ahead.
