Data resides on the SSDs only and the object store is used only for the various Snap-To-Object use cases, such as backup, archiving, and bursting. In this case, for each filesystem, the allocated SSD capacity should be identical to the filesystem size, and the data Retention Period should be defined as the longest time possible, i.e., 5 years. The Tiering Cue should be defined using the same considerations as in data lifecycle management, based on IO patterns. In this scheme, the applications work all the time with a high-performance SSD storage system and use the object store only as a backup device.
