Abstract

This session explores the strategic importance of data tiering for NonStop backup environments, focusing on how to classify and manage backup data based on criticality, retention, and access patterns. We will examine key considerations unique to NonStop systems—such as system uptime, regulatory compliance, and recovery objectives—and how these factors influence data tiering strategies.

The session will also introduce ETI-NET BackBox and QoreStor, highlighting how it is architected to support cost-effective, policy-driven data tiering. Attendees will learn how BackBox and QoreStor enables seamless integration with existing NonStop backup workflows, reduces storage costs, and improves data lifecycle management across on-premises and cloud-based storage tiers
