Optimize performance when small objects are backed up to the cloud
With Tivoli® Storage Manager Version 7.1.6, you can set up local storage for data that is later moved to the cloud. By assigning a local storage directory to a cloud-container storage pool, you can enhance the backup performance of small objects, for example, client-transaction data.
The backup performance of a cloud-container storage pool largely depends on the network connections between the server and the cloud. When you define a local storage directory, data is temporarily stored in the directory during data ingestion, and is then moved to the cloud.
