   • AUse SyncIQ to replicate the archives to a second PowerScale cluster and delete the originals.
   • BEnable SmartPools to move the files to a lower-cost tier on the same cluster.
   • CManually copy the archives to an external NAS and remove them from the PowerScale cluster.
   • DConfigure a CloudPools policy to tier files older than 90 days to an S3-compatible cloud provider, leaving stub files in place.

   A company has a PowerScale cluster with a mix of hot and cold data. They want to use CloudPools to reduce costs, but they are concerned about recall latency for tiered files. The compliance team requires that any file be retrievable within 15 minutes. The network link to the cloud provider is 1 Gbps. Which approach best balances cost savings and retrieval requirements?

   • ATier all files older than 30 days regardless of size.
   • BAvoid CloudPools entirely and keep all data on-premises.
   • CTier only files that are rarely accessed and are smaller than a size threshold that can be recalled within 15 minutes over the available bandwidth.
   • DTier all files to the cloud and rely on the cloud provider's CDN for fast access.
