- Policy based waterfall model moves cold data into the cloud
- Data temperature is determined based on last access time
- Cold data tiers to the cloud when preset threshold is reached in terms of on-prem storage consumption
- Temperature policy and threshold levels can be configured
- Upon read of data that is tiered to the cloud, it is retrieved back to the on-prem storage
- Data is encrypted using AES-256 algorithm for data in-flight and at-rest in the cloud
Use cloud as an extension to Cohesity's built-in storage to tier the data between Cohesity cluster and the cloud. Cloud is treated as another storage tier, so you end up with 3 tiers of storage: SSD, HDD, and the cloud.
