Abstract
The disclosed computer-implemented method includes accessing cluster hardware information that identifies at least two different types of storage media within a cluster and provides an indication of a respective amount of data throughput for each identified type of storage media. The method next includes accessing popularity information for digital content that is to be stored in the cluster. The popularity information indicates how often the digital content is predicted to be accessed over a specified future period of time. The method also includes allocating the digital content on the different types of storage media within the cluster according to the popularity information. Accordingly, digital content predicted to have higher popularity is placed on storage media types with higher throughput amounts, and digital content predicted to have lower popularity is placed on storage media types with lower throughput amounts. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
