Aggregation buckets
By default, Cohesity Alta SaaS Protection organizes data into aggregation buckets for efficient data management. The buckets are created based on the item's size, last accessed timestamp, and last modified timestamp.
A size bucket is created to categorize data into size ranges, such as:
Less than 1 KiB
1 KiB - 10 KiB
10 KiB - 100 KiB
Up to greater than 100 GiB
This categorization helps monitor storage consumption by bucket. For example, you can view how much storage is occupied by items within the 1 KiB - 10-KiB range compared to those smaller than 1 KiB.
To analyze data by size, click the option and you can switch between the and option based on your requirement.
Data is grouped by the year it was last accessed or modified. This allows tracking of storage consumption per year based on last accessed or modified timestamp.
