The following section lists the supported server platforms
by volume type and the protocols for supported systems.
- Primary volume
- A primary volume is storage knowledge workers access to create, read, update, and delete unstructured content. Unstructured content is stored in standard formats such as office documents, text files, system logs, application logs, email, and compressed archives that contain email, documents, or enterprise social media content.
- Retention volume
- Generally, a retention volume is immutable storage that enforces retention and hold policies. While data is under management, it cannot be modified or deleted, and knowledge workers typically do not access retention storage directly. Specific applications move data to this storage to manage it. This storage typically has its own special API/protocol, although NAS vendors implemented retention/hold features that use standard CIFS/SMB or SMB2 and NFS protocols. The storage platform typically does not implement a hierarchical namespace to store content, but instead relies on a globally unique identifier as a handle to metadata and content. Applications are free to write metadata and binary content in any internal format to satisfy their requirements.
- Typically, IBM®
StoredIQ® does not attempt to discover and manage data that is written by other applications to retention volumes. Application-specific knowledge is often required to interpret metadata and content. Retention storage is used by IBM
StoredIQ to manage data on compliant immutable storage for retention and holds. It does so in a way that does not interfere with knowledge workers that create, update, and access content on primary volumes.
- IBM
StoredIQ preserves source metadata when data is written to a retention volume. The original source metadata is important for governance and legal discovery (custodian, time stamps, and more) to replicate the content and metadata from the retention volume when needed.
- Export volume
- Export volumes are unmanaged (not indexed) storage location where content is copied along with metadata and audit detail in a format that can be imported by other applications. A common usage of export volumes is to stage local documents to be imported into a legal review tool in a format such as standard EDRM or a Concordance-compatible format.
- System volume
- System volumes are a storage location where files can be written to and read by IBM
StoredIQ. It can be used to export volume metadata that is contained in the index on a Data Server. Exported volume data can be imported from a system volume to populate a volume index.
