Hybrid storage tiering moves different types of data to the most cost-effective storage tier, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Using Oracle's hybrid storage tiering:
- Hot and warm data remains on-premises, while cold and archive data moves to lower-cost storage in Oracle Cloud.
- The Oracle Storage Cloud Software Appliance provides a bridge between on-premises and cloud storage, allowing for easy data movement with POSIX compliance.
- This hybrid approach lowers overall storage costs by paying only for cloud storage as data is used, versus maintaining all storage on-premises.
