摘要： The described technology is generally directed an extension to the IFS domains architecture, referred to herein as filter domains. IFS domains allows tagging of files in a tree-like dataset. Thus, a domain can be defined at the root of the dataset such as the topmost directory under which all files reside. These domains are inherently hierarchichal, path-based entities. Filter domains extends this organization to allow domains to be applied beyond hierarchical tree structures in order to also provide arbitrary grouping of file objects based on any suitable membership condition.

摘要： The described technology is generally directed towards maintaining a heat score per file based on a file's access/activity level, and using the heat score to re-tier files from faster to slower storage and vice-versa. Files on a slower tier that have more activity are thereby moved (“up-tiered”) to a faster access storage tier, while the files that have less activity on the faster access storage tier are moved (“down-tiered”) to a slower access storage tier. The heat score for a file is increased based on more input-output operation activity, and decayed over time. The decaying can be based on a relative importance value (e.g., business value) assigned to the file or a domain that includes the file. Ordering the files based on their respective heat scores allows only a fraction of the files to be considered for re-tiering before the re-tiering moves are performed.
