Enhancing access with Easy Tier
Easy Tier® provides automatic migration of frequently accessed data to high performing Solid
State Drives (SSDs), enhancing usage efficiencies. Operating at a fine granularity, the Easy
Tier function automatically repositions pieces of the data to the appropriate class of drives
based on I/O patterns and drive characteristics with no further administrative interaction.

based on I/O patterns and drive characteristics with no further administrative interaction.
Easy Tier makes it easy and economical to deploy SSDs in your environment. A hybrid pool
of storage capacity is created containing two tiers: SSD and Hard Disk Drive (HDD). The
busiest portions of volumes are identified and automatically relocated to high-performance
SSDs. Remaining data can take advantage of higher capacity, price-optimized drives for the
best customer value. Volumes in an SSD- or HDD-managed disk group are monitored and
can be managed automatically or manually by moving hot extents to SSD and cold extents to
HDD.

With an online database workload, Easy Tier improved throughput up to 200 percent and
reduced transaction response time by up to 30 percent compared to a configuration using
only HDD.
