Abstract
Described are techniques for performing storage optimizations in a system. The optimizations may include a data movement optimization. First processing may be performed by a first component to determine whether to automatically perform the data movement optimization for devices included in one or more data storage systems. The first component may be external with respect to the data storage systems and may not be included in any of the data storage systems. As a result of performing the data movement optimization, a first portion of data is automatically moved from a first of the devices to a second of the devices. The first and second devices may have different performance classifications. Additionally, automated discovery processing may be performed to determine performance classifications for devices of the data storage systems and/or determine physical device dependencies.
