Abstract
The disclosed embodiments included a system, apparatus, method, and computer program product for optimizing the storage of data based at least in part on cost and service levels utilizing a cloud-based virtual storage fabric. Those embodiments are configured to compile operational information for service offerings that provide data storage at different storage locations, determine the costs of migrating that data to and storing that data at each of those storage locations utilizing the operational information, designate at which storage location each datum is to be stored based in part on those costs, and designate at least one datum for migration from one of the storage locations to another if the cost of storing that datum at that storage location is determined to be greater than the costs of migrating and storing that datum at the other storage location.
