As we have seen, SyncIQ software enables the simple creation of a secure remote archive.
SmartPools software enables the separation of data according to its business value, aligning it with the appropriate class of storage and levels of performance and protection. Data movement is seamless. Also, with file-level granularity and control using automated policies, manual control, or the API interface, you can tune performance and layout, storage tier alignment, and protection settings—all with minimal impact to end users.
SmartPools facilitates the creation and management of a dedicated local archive pool within a cluster for data retention and high availability purposes.
