Zusammenfassung:An information handling system includes a processor having a first data storage device in a first memory tier, a second data storage device in a second memory tier, and a tiering manager. The first tier exhibits first data storage attributes and the second tier exhibits second data storage attributes. The tiering manager receives first memory access information from the first data storage device and second memory access information from the second data storage device, makes a determination that a first performance level of the information handling system when first data is stored in the first data storage device can be improved to a second performance level of the information handling system by swapping the first data to the second data storage device based upon the first memory access information and the second memory access information, and swaps the first data to the second data storage device in response to the determination.
