How It Works ARCHIVING RETRIEVAL Primary storage Primary storage Clients Clients Archive storage Archive storage Cloud Tiering Appliance scans the source storage through CIFS or NFS to find files that meet a policy When files match a policy, they are written to the destination tier Once file is committed to archive, a small stub is left on the primary share/export Client requests moved file Stub contains metadata with location of file The file is recalled through CIFS or NFS from a share or export
End User and Application Transparency Cloud Tiering Appliance has allowed us to tier to Atmos cloud from our unified storage, freeing space on our unified storage and making backups more manageable. The best part is that, with the retrieval speed, the medical staff has no idea their files have been archived. It’s just business as usual… ‒ Audrius Polikatis, Ph.DChief Information Officer University of Illinois Hospital and Health Sciences System Icon nowshows clock Original file size displayed Offline bitset • Files are still visible and can be quickly recalled • No need to re-train users or modify applications • Backup and anti-virus processes need not be changed
