HSM's goal is to store network data on the lowest-cost device that meets performanc
e requirements. At the top of the hierarchy are hard disks, with their fast access times, high per-megabyte costs, and relatively low capacities. HSM products automate the process of migrating less active files down the hierarchy to larger, slower, less expensive media, such as optical disks and tape drives.
