Abstract
A method, computer program product, and computing system for compartmentalizing a SSD storage tier within a storage platform into a plurality of SSD portions including a first SSD portion, a second SSD portion and a third SSD portion; reducing the size of the third SSD portion if the first SSD portion and/or the second SS portion needs to expand; and reducing the size of the second SSD portion if the first SSD portion needs to expand; wherein the storage platform includes an HDD storage tier.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method executed on a computing device comprising:
- compartmentalizing a SSD storage tier within a storage platform into a plurality of SSD portions including a first SSD portion, a second SSD portion and a third SSD portion;
- reducing the size of the third SSD portion if the first SSD portion and/or the second SSD portion needs to expand;
- and
- reducing the size of the second SSD portion if the first SSD portion needs to expand;
- wherein the storage platform includes an HDD storage tier.
A computer program product residing on a computer readable medium having a plurality of instructions stored thereon which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform operations comprising:
- compartmentalizing a SSD storage tier within a storage platform into a plurality of SSD portions including a first SSD portion, a second SSD portion and a third SSD portion;
- reducing the size of the third SSD portion if the first SSD portion and/or the second SSD portion needs to expand;
- and
- reducing the size of the second SSD portion if the first SSD portion needs to expand;
- wherein the storage platform includes an HDD storage tier.
A computing system including a processor and memory configured to perform operations comprising:
- compartmentalizing a SSD storage tier within a storage platform into a plurality of SSD portions including a first SSD portion, a second SSD portion and a third SSD portion;
- reducing the size of the third SSD portion if the first SSD portion and/or the second SSD portion needs to expand;
- and
- reducing the size of the second SSD portion if the first SSD portion needs to expand;
- wherein the storage platform includes an HDD storage tier.
