Golden Copy provides data movement capabilities from OneFS file storage to object storage, or object to file storage. Golden Copy does so while preserving the extended metadata inherent in PowerScale OneFS (such as creation dates, permissions, file paths, and so on). The objects or files remain accessible in their native format no matterthestorage mechanism.
Wherever data originates (file or object), applications close to that data can natively access and manipulate it. There are no dedicated gateways or translation systems. This architecture aligns to another Movie Labs 2030 objective of keeping compute close to the data being processing.
