File system archiving is on the rise within intelligent tiered storage strategies as a proven way to improve TCO, performance, and protection. This white paper from ESG discusses the benefits of file system archiving and explains the role of policy-based file movement as part of a tiered storage solution. The paper presents various file movement scenarios and suggests archiving tools and technologies.
Read this paper with this statistic in mind: According to SNIA, an average of 80% of files on storage systems are dormant -- meaning 80% of files can be moved to a less expensive, easier-to-manage storage tier. If you're currently -- or if you're planning to -- archive e-mail, databases, and files, you'll find this paper helpful in understanding available options and approaches that can benefit your organization most.
