ABSTRACT:
When a client access a file in a tiered storage system, the storage controller determines which tier is appropriate to store the file based on which client is accessing it and what operation is being performed. In one exemplary implementation, the tiered storage system receives a data access request corresponding to a file from the at least one client; determines the identity of the requesting client; determines an original tier of the file; determines a target tier to which the file should be migrated to; and if the original tier and the target tier are different, migrates the file from the original tier to the target tier.
