I'm looking for some advice regarding KVS file server archving.
I have been playing about with the file archving product in our lab but i 'm not convinced it is the right product for our environment.
I get the feeling that placing you file server data into an SQL databse is good if you want to turn your data into content addressable storage - CAS but all i'm interested in moving "static" data onto a cheaper media. None of our users use the CAS functionallity in KVS for Exchange so i doubt they would use it for file, so i 'm concerned about putting this data into a SQL database as i'm ultimately going to have some SQL issues.
Does anybody know if their are any alternative products that move data to another media (but leave link)? I don't require that the data be fully searchable via a browser.
If i could slave this data off to say, a SAN lun or a NAS device this would be the ideal solution. Also i would only have one server to recover in the event of Disaster recovery.
Any comments appreciated.
