A data storage system for managing storage of data from clients includes a data storage and a data storage orchestrator. The data storage includes an accelerator pool and a non-accelerator pool. The data storage orchestrator identifies a client assignment update event based on a change in use of the data storage by a client of the clients, makes a determination that the client assignment update event is a promotion event, and in response to the determination: promotes the client to move a primary data storage of the client from the non-accelerator pool to the accelerator pool.
