Automated storage tiering has become the must-have feature for all new storage arrays over the last two years.

Storage tiering is the movement of data to different types of disk according to performance and capacity requirements.

This presentation transcript discusses the ins and outs of automated storage tiering, and the 4 key ways it can boost your data center efficiency.
