You could look at products such as the Centera from EMC, or RISS from
HP. Both are designed to store reference data. They both have good
indexing tools to enable you to find the information once you off line
it!

Yes. But that requires you to move data from one type of storage to
another. So the data has to be first classified. I haven't looked at
these products, do they offer a NFS front end? Also modification is
rare but not exactly uncommon. In that case data has to move from RISS
type of platform to another filer and then migrated.


Sumandra, there are many types of platforms that try and move data
inline, like neopath and acopia.. .from my experience with them, they
are like a forklift change of my network and too much hassle... If
what you are experiencing is too much file growth, then do look at
storewiz... it will actually help reduce duplicates and manage chaotic
growth. I'd caution to really test out their performance... unless
they have made too many improvements, you are dead in the water.
Another area where we could use their help is with backup.... I had a
seperate post related to this which Faender eloquently helped me with
as usual, but if I can keep my backups on tier2 and have them
compressed with a device like storewiz, that would truly aid me. I
dont know if they can do that or not. It would involve them speaking
to a backup server I suppose.


I do not recall StorWiz doing any de-dpulication, merely compression.

And like so many other things in life, your mileage will vary with
compression.
