We are pleased to announce Auto Tiering 2.0 feature has been added to the latest 1.1.2 firmware of JetStor X line.
AC&NC auto-tiering cost-effectively and dynamically places hot data on SSD or faster hard drives and cold data on lower cost high-capacity drives, allowing you to optimize application performance without straining your budget or sacrificing capacity.
Our algorithm uses intelligent data analysis that continuously monitors data usage and ranks this data based on how often it is accessed. It will then use this information and make a decision on where your data should be.
The intuitive SANOS 4.0 web UI interactively shows the data being gathered; how this data is being used, and how much of each tier storage should be assigned based on this information. Then at the scheduled time, the most accessed blocks that have been marked as “hot” data will be migrated into the highest performing tier, the least accessed or “cold” data will be migrated into the lowest cost - highest capacity drive tier.
All of this is managed in the background without user intervention. This tiered pool will also function the same as any standard JetStor pool, and access to our enterprise features such as snapshot and remote replication remains unchanged. This intelligent movement of data will allow the highest performance for the data you use the most while keeping the total cost of ownership low and taking the burden of data management away from the IT organization.
Auto-tiering is a licensed feature available on the JetStor X series.
