    Abstract: Placement decisions can be made for data storage volumes based at least in part upon the requirements of the storage volumes and the capabilities of the types of hardware available to host those volumes. There may be multiple types of hardware capable of supporting a volume, and the placement can be biased to hardware capable of supporting fewer types of storage volumes in order to ensure sufficient capacity for the various types of storage volumes. A consistent level of performance can also be provided independent of the type of hardware utilized. Hardware can be selected to host a volume that is able to satisfy various volume requirements, and the operation can be adjusted to ensure that the volume requirements are satisfied over time.
