Data storage placement system

An Information Handling System (IHS), comprising:

• a processing system;
• and
• a memory system that is coupled to the processing system and that includes instructions that, when executed by the processing system, cause the processing system to provide a data storage management engine that is configured to:
• receive, from a data provisioning device, data;
• predict at least one processing operation that will be performed on the data;
• determine a first storage subsystem type based on the at least one processing operation;
• determine a first compute system type based on the at least one processing operation;
• identify a first storage subsystem that includes the first storage subsystem type and that is proximate a first compute system that includes the first compute system type based on the processing of data stored in the first storage subsystem by the first compute system being more efficient than the processing of data in other storage subsystems by the first compute system;
• and
• transmit the data for storage in the first storage subsystem.

A method for placing data for storage, comprising:

• receiving, by a data management device from a data provisioning device, data;
• predicting, by the data management device, at least one processing operation that will be performed on the data;
• determining, by the data management device, a first storage subsystem type based on the at least one processing operation;
• determining, by the data management device, a first compute system type based on the at least one processing operation;
• identifying, by the data management device, a first storage subsystem that includes the first storage subsystem type and that is proximate a first compute system that includes the first compute system type based on the processing of data stored in the first storage subsystem by the first compute system being more efficient than the processing of data stored in other storage subsystems by the first compute system;
• and
• transmitting, by the data management device, the data for storage in the first storage subsystem.
