Storage Tiers

Storage tiers provide an effective way to manage data based on its value, access patterns, and lifecycle stage. They let you optimize costs by keeping frequently accessed "hot" data on faster, more expensive tiers, while archival "cold" data moves to cheaper, slower tiers.

Currently, the FSDH storage explorer uses "hot" storage only. Support for additional storage tiers is coming soon.
