Abstract
An external storage resource pool associated with federated tiered storage is associated with at least one performance tier based on evaluated performance of the external storage resource pool. Performance of the external pool may be evaluated in terms of service level expectations or service level objectives. Workload pattern analysis or performance probability curves may be used to classify the external storage resource pool. Workload distribution may be determined by a margin analysis algorithm that matches workloads and storage resource pool performance characteristics.
