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!
