Rainfinity File Management Appliance

Policy-based file tiering and active archiving

EMC Rainfinity File Management Appliance both optimizes and lowers the total cost of ownership of your NAS infrastructure by moving inactive data to lower-cost tiers of storage.

A key component of Celerra FAST, Rainfinity File Management Appliance provides automated policy management to move files across NAS tiers to EMC Centera or EMC Atmos. You optimize your primary storage by removing inactive data from the backup process.

Rainfinity File Management Appliance/VE is a virtual appliance that can be deployed onto an existing ESX Server, allowing you to implement Celerra file tiering without adding additional hardware.
