For data that is too valuable to throw away but not frequently accessed enough to justify maintaining it on production storage, replicate it with SyncIQ to a secondary site and reclaim the space on the primary system. Using a SyncIQ copy policy, data can be deleted on the source without affecting the target, leaving a remote archive for disk-based tertiary storage applications or staging data before it moves to offline storage. Remote archiving is ideal for intellectual property preservation, long-term records retention, or project archiving.
