Abstract:
The method, computer program product and computer system of the present invention may include a computing device that replicates data from a first data storage site, which may have a plurality of data storage tiers, to one or more second data storage sites. The computing device may identify a portion of the data on a first tier of the first data storage site to be inactive and move the inactive data to a second tier of the first data storage site. The computing device may compute a number of slices to slice the inactive data into and a location to store the slices of inactive data using an information dispersal algorithm. The computing device may send the computed number of slices and storage location for the inactive data to the one or more second data storage sites to apply to the data replicated from the first data storage site.
