Transparent Cloud Tiering

Transparent Cloud Tiering is a separately installable feature of IBM Spectrum Scale that provides a native cloud storage tier. It allows data center administrators to free up on-premise storage capacity by moving the less frequently used data to the cloud storage. This results in reducing capital and operational expenditures. This feature provides a new level of storage tiering capability to the IBM Spectrum Scale customers.

To enable Transparent Cloud Tiering on a node, you must first enable the Transparent Cloud Tiering feature. Use the mmcloudgateway command to create and manage Transparent Cloud Tiering service.
