Abstract
An application is used, by a processor, to provide directives to a tiered data object storage environment for manipulating and managing stored data objects by using an existing policy developed by a history of directives to intelligently estimate which of the data objects are to be migrated between a higher storage tier and a lower storage tier and at what appropriate time, while refraining from migrating data objects with a pending management operation.
