Tiered Storage System
What is a tiered storage system?
In a tiered storage system, each storage tier is intended for specific types of data and has distinct performance characteristics, SLAs and pricing plans (with complex fee structures). Usually, tiered storage systems are optimized for three different classes of data: active data, active archive, and inactive archive.
