Veritas Access Cloud Storage Tiering Solutions Guide
About moving Veritas Access on-premises data to different cloud services
The cloud as a tier feature for a scale-out file system lets you move data to different cloud services. The data is always written to the on-premises storage tier and then data can be moved to the cloud tier using a tiering mechanism. The cloud is used as a storage tier in a scale-out file system. File metadata including any attributes set on the file resides on-premises even though the file is moved to the cloud. The cloud as a tier feature is best used for moving infrequently accessed data to the cloud.
Once you configure cloud tiering in Veritas Access, data that is stored in a scale-out file system can be intelligently moved between the on-premises tier and the cloud tier.
Veritas Access moves the data from on-premises to the following cloud providers based on automated policy management:
Amazon Glacier - for storing data that is rarely accessed, and retrieval latency of several hours is acceptable (costs more to retrieve data)
Amazon Glacier is part of the Amazon Web Services (AWS) suite of cloud computing services, and is designed for long-term storage of infrequently used data.
AWS S3 - for storing a variety of objects, mostly images and videos
Amazon S3 (Simple Storage Services) stores unstructured data in the form of objects. Objects are organized into buckets (each owned by an AWS account), and identified within each bucket by a unique, user-assigned key.
AWS S3-compatible - for storing a variety of objects, mostly images and videos
S3-compatible is any third-party implementation of the Amazon S3 APIs.
AWS GovCloud (US) - for storing sensitive data and regulated workloads, helping customers support their U.S. government compliance requirements.
