Virtualising Tiered Storage With SmartMove and Celerra FileMover

Overview

Managing rapidly growing volumes of data is an increasingly important factor in the success of corporations. Their ability to manage critical data in ways that support their business objectives directly impacts their ability to comply with regulations, control costs, and enhance customer satisfaction. The sheer volume of data, and the accelerating rate of its increase, is a universal challenge. In addition to simply finding storage space for the data, corporations must evaluate its relative value in order to determine where to store it. Current, frequently-accessed data needs to be on rapid-access primary storage, while older, less-frequently accessed data can be moved to lower-cost secondary storage.
