Abstract

Described is a system that provides the ability to distribute backup data according to performance characteristics associated with nodes that form a clustered storage environment. For example, the clustered storage environment may organize nodes into tiers that have certain storage performance-related characteristics such as read/write latency, deduplication processing efficiency, bandwidth, etc. Accordingly, the system may associate the backup data with an identifier for an appropriate storage performance tier. The identifier may then be utilized by the clustered storage environment to redirect storage operations to a node within the appropriate storage performance tier. Thus, the system allows for the distribution of backup data to particular storage performance tiers based on particular storage or workload requirements.
