LAN-free data transfer for HSM

The space management client supports LAN-free data transfer, which shifts the movement of client data from the communications network to a storage area network (SAN). Shifting the client data movement from the communications network to a SAN decreases the load on the IBM Storage® Protect server.

The SAN provides a path that allows migration and recall of data to and from a SAN-attached storage device. Client data moves over the SAN to the storage device via the IBM Storage Protect Storage Agent. The IBM Storage Protect Storage Agent must be installed on the same system as the client.
