Transparent Cloud Tiering SDK provides you a simple solution to develop the cloud archiving software, it allows you to integrate your existing on-premises applications with the remote cloud storage infrastructure in a seamless, secure, and transparent fashion. The cloud tiering is a data storage technique which automatically moves data between high-cost on-permise storage and low-cost remote cloud storage, it provides a native cloud storage tier, it allows you to free up on-premise storage capacity, by moving out cooler data to the cloud storage, thereby reducing capital and operational expenditures. Cloud archiving is the process of moving data to secondary storage in the cloud, the potential benefits of cloud archiving includes lower costs and easier access, no interruption and change to your existing applications and infrastructure.
Cloud storage tiering can be widely used in telecommunications, government, oil, medical and other industries. Tiered storage is the first choice of medical PACS (Picture Archiving and Communication System, medical imaging storage and transmission systems), a lot of data in such applications are rarely visit, these data are transferred to a less expensive network storage. When users and applications access the stub files in the local storage, it is completely transparent, the system will automatically restore the data back to the stub file from the remote storage server. The network attached storage is scalable, tiered storage products provide users with an infinite online data space.
Transparent Cloud Data File AccessBy creating ILM (Information Lifecycle Manager) policy, a stub file will be created after the file was migrated to the cloud storage. A stub file looks and acts like a regular file, it has the same file attributes with the original physical file (file size, creation time, last write time, last access time), it also keeps the original file's security. A stub file is a file with sparse file and reparse point attributes, your customized tag data can be embedded to the stub file. A stub file doesn't take the storage space for the file data, it only keeps the meta data of the file. When the stub file is accessed, the file data in the cloud storage will be transparently recalled to the stub file, you can rehydrate the stub file or just return the data to the application based on the recall policy.
The Main Advantages Of Smart Storage Tiering Are:Lower Storage Costs
If you have two terabytes of expensive server storage where 50% of the data is never or rarely accessed, with the smart storage tiering, you can transfer a terabyte data to the NAS storage or cloud storage, you can save a terabyte storage space in SAN RAID storage.
