Cloud Storage Data Lifecycle Management (Cope, Erl)

How can data be stored and managed in a cloud environment based on a defined lifecycle?

Cloud Storage Data Lifecycle Management

Problem

Datasets no longer required by an organization can bloat databases causing performance challenges, and can further incur administration and maintenance burdens.

Solution

A solution can be introduced to automatically manage and migrate the data into a different type of cloud storage device, or delete the data based on its state in a defined lifecycle.

Application

A cloud storage data aging management mechanism monitors the state of data against a provided lifecycle in order to move data to a different cloud storage device or delete data after a defined lifecycle.
