Abstract: A multi-tiered data management system utilizes vertical storage tiers, each with one or more horizontal data storage elements, to provide a dynamic and configurable system for managing the storing, archiving and retrieval of data. The system provides an ability to automatically copy data in parallel to multiple types of storage systems horizontally within a tier and vertically between tiers transparently from the host system or user perspective. Users may decide how many backend systems would be utilized and managed, and provide information to define rules or policies for the movement of data into, and among, and from the backend systems and tiers of storage devices. Data is managed by these set policies and determines how long the data will stay in each medium, be migrated between mediums, and otherwise managed. When a user retrieves data, the present system determines which data storage source would best suit the user's request.

Abstract translation: 多层数据管理系统利用垂直存储层，每层具有一个或多个水平数据存储单元，以提供用于管理数据的存储，存档和检索的动态和可配置系统。 该系统提供了在主机系统或用户视角透明地自动将数据并行地并行地复制到多个类型的存储系统中并在层次之间垂直层叠的能力。 用户可以决定将使用和管理多少个后端系统，并提供信息来定义用于将数据移动到后端系统和存储设备的层之间和之间的规则或策略。 数据由这些设置策略管理，并确定数据将停留在每个介质中多长时间，在介质之间迁移和以其他方式进行管理。 当用户检索数据时，本系统确定哪个数据存储源最适合用户的请求。
