Nutanix Files Smart Tier enables you to move cold file share data to S3 compliant object stores on-premises or in the public cloud. This demo will show you how this tool can help you make decisions on how to best manage your data, and drive your business forward.

Smart Tier Architecture

The tiering engine with Nutanix Files 4.0 leverages APIs over HTTPS to accept tiering and recall requests, and to move data to S3 compliant targets. Three targets have been validated for the initial release, 1) Nutanix Objects, 2) Amazon® S3 Standard and IA tiers, and 3) Wasabi™ cloud storage. When files are tiered, the metadata for the file is maintained in Nutanix Files while the data is moved to the S3 target.
