CloudTierSDK

The CloudTier Storage Tiering SDK is a Hierarchical Storage Management (HSM) file system filter driver development kit. It implements a data storage strategy that automatically migrates data between high-cost and low-cost storage media, optimizing storage efficiency and reducing both capital and operational expenses.

This SDK offers a simple and cost-effective solution to seamlessly integrate your on-premises storage infrastructure with cloud storage. The migration of files to the cloud happens transparently and securely, with no disruption to existing applications or infrastructure.

The SDK uses on-premises storage as Tier 0 (hot storage) and cloud storage as Tier 1 (cold storage). Cooler or less frequently accessed data is automatically moved to cloud storage, freeing up local storage capacity. Your applications can continue to access all files as if they reside locally—no changes to your code or workflow are required.
