FileStore includes native storage tiering leveraging existing Veritas technology.
Based on admin settings, primary storage will tier to secondary. This process can be automatic. FileStore tracks data movement for quick retrieval.

CloudArray operates as a virtual or physical appliance:
• Presents iSCSI volumes to FileStore Nodes
• Volumes are block-based residing on one or many Cloud storage providers
• Local cache allows fast access to data
• All data optionally encrypted at rest with 256-bit encryption
• Space-efficient snapshots in the cloud enable point-in-time recovery and retention policies

Create HA with no single point of failure (including Cloud providers) using CloudArray working with FileStore:
• Volume (V1) from FileStore storage pool (based on CloudArray) is presented to NFS or CIFS Client
Cloud Storage Providers
• Volume is mirrored (M1 + M2) and mapped to separate Cloud Storage Providers

As data is written to V1, based on policy the data stored on V1 can be stored locally and replicated asynchronously to separate public Cloud providers. V1 can also be cached and stored directly on separate storage Cloud providers.
• Data is compressed and/or encrypted
• Snapshots in the cloud enable rapid restores
