1.0 Overview of Dynamic Storage Technology

Novell(R) Dynamic Storage Technology (DST) for Novell Open Enterprise Server 2
(OES 2) Linux is an information life-cycle management technology that uses a
policy-based approach for relocating data between two Novell Storage
Services™ (NSS) volumes located on different devices, and transparently
provides a unified view of the file tree to users. You specify policies that
classify data to be moved by its frequency of use, filename, file type, and
file size. Policy enforcement is automated with scheduled and on-demand runs
of the policies. DST allows you to seamlessly tier storage between
high-performance and lower-performance devices. For example, you can
establish policies that keeps frequently-used mission-critical data on
high-performance devices, and moves seldom-used less-essential data to
lower-performance devices. Backup can be performed separately on the two
volumes, which allows for different backup schedules.
DST just one add-on you can use with NSS volumes
