Abstract
Example apparatus and methods monitor conditions in a tiered storage system. The conditions monitored may include the availability of different numbers and types of devices including an erasure code based object storage system. The conditions monitored may also include the availability and type of devices available to the erasure code based object storage system. A redundancy policy for storing an item using the erasure code based object storage system may be determined based on the conditions. Erasure codes associated with the item may then be stored in the erasure code based object storage system as controlled, at least in part, by the redundancy policy. The redundancy policy for the erasure codes may be updated dynamically in response to changing conditions on the tiered storage system.
