At the center of an active archive resides an intelligent data management system. This software system plays the central role of automatically placing data where it belongs for cost, performance and workload priorities. Using technologies such as metadata and global namespaces, the data management layer makes data accessible, searchable and retrievable on whatever storage platform or media it may reside.
