System and Method for Managing Devices in an Information Handling System

A system, comprising:

• a storage control system including a tier manager, wherein the tier manager is adapted to:
• associate a bin access value with each data storage bin of a plurality of data storage bins after a current time window ends, wherein the bin access value corresponds to a time-weighted access frequency related to the data storage bin;
• map each data storage bin of the plurality of data storage bins to a storage tier of a hierarchy of storage tiers, based on the bin access value associated with the data storage bin, such that a bin access value associated with each data storage bin mapped to a storage tier is greater than or equal to a bin access value associated with a most frequently accessed data storage bin mapped to a next highest-performing storage tier;
• cause data associated with each data storage bin of the plurality of data storage bins to be migrated to the storage tier to which the data storage bin is mapped;
• and
• when a data storage bin was not mapped to a current storage tier after a previous time window ended, automatically determine a time weighting factor to be applied to an access frequency associated with a time window, wherein a next bin access value associated with the data storage bin is calculated using the determined time weighting factor.

A computer-readable medium including processor-readable instructions that are executable by a processor to perform a method, the method comprising:

• associating a bin access value with each data storage bin of a plurality of data storage bins after a current time window ends, wherein the bin access value corresponds to a time-weighted access frequency related to the data storage bin;
• mapping each data storage bin of the plurality of data storage bins to a storage tier of a hierarchy of storage tiers, based on the bin access value associated with the data storage bin, such that a bin access value associated with each data storage bin mapped to a storage tier is greater than or equal to a bin access value associated with a most frequently accessed data storage bin mapped to a next highest-performing storage tier;
• causing data associated with each data storage bin of the plurality of data storage bins to be migrated to the storage tier to which the data storage bin is mapped;
• and
• when a data storage bin was not mapped to a current storage tier after a previous time window ended, automatically determining a time weighting factor to be applied to an access frequency associated with a time window, wherein a next bin access value associated with the data storage bin is calculated using the determined time weighting factor.
