<div>Hi</div>
<div>i saw in the GPFS Forum somebody mentioning IBM Spectrum Scale transparent cloud tiering <a href="http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/servicemanagement/tc/gpfs/evaluate.html">http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/servicemanagement/tc/gpfs/evaluate.html</a></div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thus the question. Does somebody knows how that - the tiering into clould services - is technical done and what limitations exist ?</div>
