Caching vs. Auto-tiering: Data Storage Acceleration with Open-E

Read/Write Data Processing

Cutting Costs Without Cutting Speed

From healthcare to gaming to financial services, today's data-heavy industries can't afford delays. However, building high-performance storage often means balancing flash-speed access with tight infrastructure budgets. That's where caching and auto-tiering come in. These two strategies ensure your hot data gets fast lanes while cold data rests on cost-effective media. The key? Knowing when to use which
