Abstract
An illustrative storage management appliance is interposed between client computing devices and one or more cloud storage resources. The appliance uses cloud storage resources in conjunction with a network attached storage device configured within the appliance to provide to the client computing devices seemingly unlimited network attached storage on respective network shares. The storage management appliance monitors data objects on the network shares and when a data object meets one or more criteria for archiving, the storage management appliance archives the data object to a cloud storage resource and replaces it with a stub and preview image on the network share. When access to the stub and/or preview image is detected, the storage management appliance restores the data object from the cloud storage resource. The criteria for archiving flexibly allow individual data objects to be archived to cloud storage without archiving frequently-accessed 'neighboring' data objects on the same network share.
