Zusammenfassung:	A data storage system manager includes one or more servers, at least one data collector deployed on at least one of the servers, at least one policy engine deployed on at least one of the servers, and at least one configuration manager deployed on at least one the servers. The at least one data collector is configured to collect resource utilization information including data storage wear rate of data storage system data storage modules. The at least one policy engine is configured to evaluate the collected information and to initiate changes to a configuration of the data storage system based on data storage wear rate and work load distribution policies. The at least one configuration manager is configured to implement the changes initiated by the at least one policy engine to control the data storage wear rate and a skew of the work load distribution within the data storage system.
