What is a Tiered Data Storage infrastructure?

Tiered Data Storage employs a policy-based data migrator to relocate data to the most appropriate storage tier, based on performance, security and cost. Content typically when first created is best residing on the fastest storage tier available, after it becomes less active – that data can be automatically moved, based on pre-set policies, to a slower more cost-effective storage tier or perhaps to an archive environment such as a tape library or Cloud.
