A computer-implemented method, comprising:
- identifying data stored within a first virtual storage tier of a storage system;
- analyzing one or more characteristics of the data;
- and
- conditionally transferring the data from the first virtual storage tier of the storage system to a second virtual storage tier of the storage system, based on the analyzing.
A computer program product for tiering data compression within a storage system, the computer program product comprising a computer readable storage medium having program instructions embodied therewith, wherein the computer readable storage medium is not a transitory signal per se, the program instructions executable by a processor to cause the processor to perform a method comprising:
- identifying data stored within a first virtual storage tier of the storage system, utilizing the processor;
- analyzing one or more characteristics of the data, utilizing the processor;
- and
- conditionally transferring the data from the first virtual storage tier of the storage system to a second virtual storage tier of the storage system, based on the analyzing, utilizing the processor.
A system, comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- logic integrated with the processor, executable by the processor, or integrated with and executable by the processor, the logic being configured to:
- identify data stored within a first virtual storage tier of a storage system;
- analyze one or more characteristics of the data;
- and
- conditionally transfer the data from the first virtual storage tier of the storage system to a second virtual storage tier of the storage system, based on the analyzing.
