Multiple File System-based Stores
UCM
FS FS
Normal FS for active items
Cheaper/slower disks for
inactive items
• Many low cost storage options can be mapped/mounted as FS locations
• Fujitsu
• NetApp
• EMC
• Use retention rules to move items from active store to inactive store
Remember, items can be moved between stores by simply updating metadata!
