As unstructured data continues to grow exponentially, organizations face challenges of managing and analyzing data in the object storage. Organizations require options for copying object data from ECS to ECS, or from ECS to a public cloud, and to manage object data flexibly and efficiently. Dell ECS Copy to Cloud enables creating a copy and using an integrated SaaS (Software as a service) offering in a public cloud. With Copy to Cloud, administrators can copy locally stored object data to an external S3 bucket.
