Abstract
Hybrid data tiering, including: replicating multiple data objects from a first storage location on a first computer system to a second storage location at a second computer system; identifying, in accordance with a retention policy, some of the multiple data objects to continue storing at the first storage location, wherein all of the multiple data objects remain stored at the second storage location; and selecting the identified some of the multiple data objects to remain stored at the first storage location.
Claims20
A method for hybrid data tiering, the method comprising:
- replicating multiple data objects from a first storage location on a first computer system to a second storage location at a second computer system;
- identifying, in accordance with a retention policy, some of the multiple data objects to continue storing at the first storage location, wherein all of the multiple data objects remain stored at the second storage location;
- and
- selecting the identified some of the multiple data objects to remain stored at the first storage location.
An apparatus for hybrid data tiering comprising:
- one or more hardware processors;
- one or more data storage resources;
- and
- a hybrid data tiering controller module configured to:
- replicate multiple data objects from a first storage location on a first computer system to a second storage location at a second computer system;
- identify, in accordance with a retention policy, some of the multiple data objects to continue storing at the first storage location, wherein all of the multiple data objects remain stored at the second storage location;
- and
- select selecting the identified some of the multiple data objects to remain stored at the first storage location.
A computer program product for hybrid data tiering, the computer program product disposed upon a computer readable medium, the computer program product comprising computer program instructions that, when executed, cause a computer to carry out the steps of:
- replicating multiple data objects from a first storage location on a first computer system to a second storage location at a second computer system;
- identifying, in accordance with a retention policy, some of the multiple data objects to continue storing at the first storage location, wherein all of the multiple data objects remain stored at the second storage location;
- and
- selecting the identified some of the multiple data objects to remain stored at the first storage location.
