Abstract
The technology described herein is directed towards mapping the storage tiers of various multi-cloud vendors to an enterprise's storage tiers and the enterprise's associated storage tier datasets, based on enterprise storage tiering definition data. Once mapped, the storage tier datasets are populated based on the vendor's per-tier metadata that are associated with the enterprise's data stored on that vendor's storage tiers. Similar mapping is performed for each other vendor's storage tiers. Once the storage tier datasets are populated based on the corresponding metadata, the metadata's variable parameters (e.g., performance metrics) for the enterprise's stored data can be presented according to the enterprise's own defined tiers and labels for the parameters. The metadata information in the datasets can be viewed per vendor and per enterprise-defined tier dataset, such as for object storage monitoring, cost comparison among different vendors' tiers, and closest vendor-to-enterprise parity comparisons of like variables.
