BlueXP tiering expands your ONTAP storage capacity by moving infrequently used data to object storage of your choice, whether on-premises or in the cloud. Data is moved automatically between ONTAP’s primary tier and the cost-efficient object storage capacity tier, based on the data’s access patterns.
