tiered storage

An underlying principle of ILM (information lifecycle management), tiered storage is a storage networking method where data is stored on various types of media,, based on performance, availability and recovery requirements. For example, data intended for restoration in the event of data loss or corruption could be stored locally - for fast recovery - while data for regulatory purposes could be archived to lower cost disks.

See ILM.
