How StorTrends Tiered Storage and ILM Works
At the core of StorTrends iTX stack is a data collection and trending module that collects
and categorizes both instantaneous and historical access patterns that can span years.
Storage blocks are also cataloged with respect to their RAID levels, class of disk drives
(SAS, SATA and so on) and rotational speed (15K RPM, 10K RPM, 7200 RPM and so
on). Status and background activity of underlying logical drives (for example, degraded
or being rebuilt and so on) are also considered for the policy of migration. Along with
this the extended knowledge of system activity is considered to determine the right time
to migrate.
