Zusammenfassung:A method for grouping and storing objects across different storage solutions in storage systems according to analysis of multiple dimensions of information may be implemented as or in a storage management module. The module collects information about objects (e.g., data objects) in a storage system (e.g., a data storage system). The objects may be objects already stored in the storage system or may be new objects to be stored in the storage system. The module analyzes the collected information across multiple dimensions to determine groupings of the objects, and determines a storage solution for each determined grouping. The module may then direct storage of the objects in the groupings according to the determined storage solutions. Upon obtaining new information about object(s) in the storage system, the module may direct movement of the object(s) from one storage solution to another storage solution according to an analysis including the new information.
