Storage Tiering Support

Awanio supports storage tiering, allowing integration and management of multiple storage types (HDD, SSD, NVMe) in a performance-classified architecture.

Supported Storage Types

  • HDD (Hard Disk Drive)
    Ideal for high-capacity, cost-effective storage like backup, archive, or cold data.

  • SSD (Solid State Drive)
    Suitable for general-purpose workloads that require moderate to high performance, such as active VMs or containers.

  • NVMe (Non-Volatile Memory Express)
    Ultra-fast storage for latency-sensitive workloads like databases, AI/ML models, or real-time analytics.

Tiering Features

  • Automatic placement of workloads based on performance policy.
  • Live migration between tiers without downtime.
  • Continuous monitoring and optimization of tier usage.

Benefits

  • Cost efficiency by matching workload needs to the right tier.
  • Improved system performance through intelligent storage allocation.
  • High flexibility in designing and scaling storage backends.
