CloudTier Transparent Storage Tiering SDK

3.2.1.2

Discover a utility meant to help developers and network administrators increase the performance of their systems by implementing functionality needed for tracking file changes, controlling file access in real-time, and protecting data

CloudTier Transparent Storage Tiering SDK offers the means to implement into your source code complex functionality for intercepting incoming requests intended for a file system and acting as a filter driver.
One of the reasons why you would need to intercept the direct communication line between a request-generating instance and a file system is because, as a developer, you might want to extend or replace the original functionality given by a default storage system implementation.
As such, when downloading some of the resources given in this listing, you have two options. For example, there are the executable and the archive files. The executable installs in your system the source code components and a demo application.
The name of the desktop tool is CloudTier SDK Demo. This program is for those who want to test the functionality of the SDK's components before the source code is implemented directly into their apps.
As such, you can use the demo app or manually start testing the transparent storage tiering SDK functionality. The ultimate goal is to optimize the data transfer between various instances and automate data movement between high-cost and low-cost storage media.
For the given goal, you can create Stub files and implement data stubbing functionality for efficiently moving media, documents, and other file types from one management system to another.
