摘要： The disclosed data storage management system enables data owners to model the costs and attributes of archiving their data and to readily capture and implement one or more resultant archiving plans. Modeling enables data owners to make informed choices about cost profiles before data is actually archived. Archiving plans devised according to these choices are intended to save on data storage costs and provide a compliance-ready data archive in cloud storage repository(ies). Armed with archiving simulations supplied by the illustrative data storage management system, a data owner may control data placement to predict costs, free up primary storage, and move inactive data to less expensive archive storage. Preferably, the disclosed system is implemented as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution, and the accompanying archive storage is implemented as a cloud storage service, but the invention is not limited to SaaS or to cloud-based data archives.
