So what is there in the new world compared to the old NearStore?

Hi,

I am thinking of building a new and third cluster on a third location for backups only. Previously we had NearStore and R200's to accept lots of concurrent transfers.

Is there a way to turn a cDOT cluster into something similar? As in a backup only cluster accepting lots of concurrent transfers say 100+ and storing them om NL-SAS drives.

Hello

with cluster mode we don't have nearstore feature anymore.

However I would recommend you to contact your account team for better clarifying that
