Komprise Hybrid Tiering:
Unlock the Potential of Your Unstructured Data

5 considerations when picking a storage tiering solution

This paper introduces hybrid tiering, which tiers unstructured data across your entire hybrid storage infrastructure including on-premises and cloud, file and object storage.

Hybrid tiering is an independent, storage-agnostic solution which can:

1. Reduce your ransomware attack surface;
2. Avoid rehydration when refreshing your storage;
3. Provide flexible data management polices while maintaining transparent access;
4. Ensure innovation and choice with cloud native data access;
5. Ensure your unstructured data is ready for AI.

This paper reviews these five considerations when evaluating data tiering options and presents a cost model that outlines the benefits of hybrid tiering as both a complement and an alternative to built-in tiering capabilities from data storage vendors.
