Cloud-Based Tiered Storage
Tiered storage, as we all know, is a hierarchical architecture of storage systems based on a set of parameters relevant to the organization. This CIOL report discusses ILM practices and the synergy between cloud and tiered storage.
"By applying policies that define the tiers of service and setting the rules on data classification based on set parameters that define information, data, and security service requirements such as retention, placement, protection, business continuity, archive, and compliance policies to information based on its value or business requirements, ILM practices can be optimized to deliver cost and time benefits.
"In terms of business and technological value, there is a great synergy between cloud and tiered storage. Cloud storage is a great way of optimizing an organizations op-ex and cap-ex, the former by reduction in the manpower, overall power consumption, space consumption etc. and the latter by lesser investments in hardware."
