LIFT & SHIFT FILE MIGRATION (Powered by Apache NIFI)

SmartTiers™ is an intelligent, policy-based, auto-tiering data management feature that automatically migrates aged data from one storage tier to another, while keeping frequently accessed data in high-performance storage. Storage tiers can be comprised of block, object*, or both types of storage on Amazon AWS or Microsoft Azure cloud platforms. SmartTiers can cut cloud storage costs by up to 67% by automatically moving older, less-active blocks of data from higher performance, more expensive block storage to less expensive cloud object storage.
