IBM GPFS can do this. First internally by moving data from expensive pools
of disk, to cheaper pools. And together with Tivoli Space Manager, it can 
also move the data to tape -- leaving stub files that will automatically
trigger a fetch from tape once something tries to read the file.

Both ways are transparent to the user, but data on tape will naturally be 
quite slow on first access.
