Abstract
Embodiments for managing data stored in a tiered data storage system, by a processor device. Upon submission of a workload to a queue of a workload manager, a set of storage demands included in metadata associated with the workload is received by an optimization policy generator. The set of storage demands is translated, by the optimization policy generator, into data placement, migration, and deletion policies to be executed by the storage system. At least one of a plurality of storage tiers within the storage system is prepared for the workload in the queue by using current storage tier allocations and the data placement, migration, and deletion policies to restructure content in the storage tiers according to the set of storage demands prior to performing the workload.
