Sybase IQ v15.0 and higher provides data placement capabilities and supports hierarchical storage management with relocation of less critical data to cheaper storage. PowerDesigner offers a simple modeling structure to cost effectively manage "aging" of data inside the data center from 1st tier high performance storage for frequently accessed data through 2nd tier near-line storage for data that is infrequently accessed to 3rd tier archive storage for data that must remain available for regulatory audits.
