The new Data Mover automatically offloads your archive content – either to disk, to the cloud, or to durable LTO tapes.
The “P5 Archive” module of the Archiware P5 data management suite undergoes a functional expansion in the latest edition, Version 7.1: The so-called Data Mover provides additional redundancy and also creates space in the primary archive.
The P5 Data Mover is available from now on as an extension of the P5 Archive Module. It provides policy-based moving and copying of already archived data between tape, cloud and disk storage. This HSM-like extension thus provides flexibility for any storage strategy: data can be easily migrated or copied between different storage tiers.
The Data Mover executes the migration plan periodically and selects the data according to a predefined age. In this way, it automatically copies or moves data from hot storage to cold storage – or in any other desired direction.
