Data Storage Management

Summarizes options that the HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric provides to give you access to your data.

HPE Ezmeral Data Fabric facilitates efficient storage of data that is based on the frequency at which data is accessed.

Data Fabric provides rule-based automated tiering functionality that allows you to integrate seamlessly with:

Low-cost storage as an additional storage tier in the fabric for storing file data that is less frequently accessed ("warm" data) in an erasure-coded volume.
Third-party cloud object storage as an additional storage tier in the fabric to store file data that is rarely accessed or archived ("cold" data).

In this way, valuable on-premise storage resources can be used for more active or hot file data and applications, while warm and/or cold file data can be retained at minimum cost for compliance, historical, or other business reasons. Data Fabric provides consistent and simplified access to and management of the data.
