Abstract
A computer implemented method assigns a data item to a storage location in a computing environment. A request to store a data item is detected. A determination is made as to whether a volatile memory in the second computer comports with an isolation rule for the data item. In response to determining that the volatile memory in the second computer comports with the isolation rule for the data item, access time for data in the volatile memory in the second computer is compared with access time for data in a local hard drive in a first computer. The data item is then selectively stored in either the volatile memory in the second computer or the local hard drive in the first computer as determined by their relative access times.
